Re: [cvsacl-users] unable to access the cvs repository

[Stig H. <sti...@cy...>]

You probably have a wrong ownership or group-ownership of /cvs/satrang. 
The setuid user of cvs must have write-access in the directory for 
checking out as the cvs server needs to place a lock (the #cvs.lock 
file) there.
This is not a cvsacl problem, but merely a cvs repository problem.
