I installed CVSNT 2.5.04 in a RHEL AS4 box. The repository's owner was 'cvsroot', and everyone was given permission to read/write the repository. But after logining the cvs server succefully, cvsroot could not check out the module 'CVSROOT'. Following is a trace of checking out attempt: >cvs -ttt -d :pserver:cvsroot at srv:/home/cvsroot/repository co CVSROOT 16:06:17: -> Tracelevel set to 3.
