Today I tried to setup a local cvs server, auch the headaches I got:( Finally I was able to do a `cvs -d.... co ...'. The next logical step was to try 'cvs update', but helas this gave a:
Permission denied Not very helpful, nor informative; so I tried to search the archives. There were some helpfull messages there, and one made me think: permission problems:) So I tried it as a different, more potent user and low and behold, it worked. And it now worked for the other user as well. What had happend was the the more potent user had created $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/Emptydir I mail this so the solution get's recorded for the next one who doesn't realise that `Permission denied' indicates some `permission problem'. -- groetjes, carel
