Okay, I've used CVS for awhile as an end user, but not as the admin.

This time however, I drew the short straw and was elected to make a few changes as admin.

I added some new directories/modules in the cvs repository for our members to check out. At first I thought I'd done alright, because I could do a local checkout into my home directory.

Pserver didn't get the hint though...it hasn't picked up on the fact that there are new directories in the repository. So what do I have to change to get past that?

I haven't changed anything as far as pserver is concerned, the usual admin had that all set up and running...all I did was add some new directories and use cvs init on them to set them up as modules.

So...any advice/suggestions would be appreciated, I'm still new enough that I don't know what else needs to be set up.

Thanks!

Check permissions (for directories and for files). That's probably the reason.

Got it. I forgot I had done the cvs init while logged in as root.

The modules belonged to the correct group, but their CVSROOT directories still belonged to root.

D'oh!
