I neglected to recursively chown, that was my problem :o

I notice that there is a password file in
/usr/share/sandweb/users/$user, but it never contains anything... if
this has my VCS password in it, would this make it so I wouldn't have
type in my password everytime I wanted to do a CVS operation?

I think changing permissions enabled it to work for me. The only thing
that does not work now is commits via ssh (they work via local
method). I download the file, make a change locally, upload it via
sandweb, then choose commit in the CVS pull-down menu. It asks me for
my password, then it asks me for a commit message, I put the commit
message in and then click GO and nothing happens, the logfile contains
this:
