To whom it may concern,
I seem to be having troubles committing files to the repository, whenever I
commit a file, cvs complains that it cannot be done under the user root when
infact I am logged an as a different user. I am using Tortoise CVS Client
for Windows and a RedHat Linux 7.1 pserver.
I know I already posted a message about this tpoic, but I had no answer...
If it can't be done, just tell me !!

You may not have gotten an answer because your questions aren't very clear.
What do you mean, without deleting previous version in the directories?
What directory do you mean? Have you exported a module to a certain
directory in the past and are trying to export a newer copy of the module on
top
Of course, you can do what you wish.. simply modify the source code of cvs.
The GNU license specifically allows that. As a matter of fact, I believe
there is a answer in a FAQ or in some document in the distribution that
explains exactly how to turn on behavior that allows root to commit files.
Actually.. you should be using the system() call to get the error code
returned. See the perlfunc manpage for details. 'perldoc -f system'.
e.g.
chdir(/my/cvs/directory/);
if (system('/usr/local/bin/cvs', 'update') == 0) {
print it worked!\n;

When doing a checkout from the trunk, CVS creates directories in the
workspace even if they are empty. You can prevent empty directories from
being created by using -P to prune empty directories or if -r or -D

It doesn't work as a daemon. You either have to use it as a pserver with
inetd (or whatever flavor of inetd) or you have to use rsh/ssh/etc to
connect and execute the cvs command remotely.
I think it's quite odd that it works like this, but I think the reasons are

CVS doesn't run as a daemon -- it requires an external agent
Emptydir is a placeholder used in CVS for when directories which may not
