LinuxQuestions.org - How to prevent cvs from locking.

using rhel 3.
we do not want cvs to create any lock files. this has been working for a while, but the last two users that we added are all creating lock files, and it is preventing them from being able to update, or do anything else for that matter.

how can I prevent cvs from creating lock files. (All users are writing as cvspub:cvspub).

Command (using tortoise):

Code:

"C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "-q" "update" "-d" "-P" "customer/includes/file.php"

Error:

Code:

cvs: rcs.c:4114: RCS_checkout: Assertion `rev == ((void *)0) || ((*__ctype_b_loc ())[(int) (((unsigned char) *rev))] & (unsigned short int) _ISdigit)' failed. 

Terminated with fatal signal 11
