permission denied.

what are the permissions on your repository?
the cvs book (at http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/) has very good
instructions on how to set up a cvs server. i've set up two cvs servers
(linux and sunos) with it in the last few days. the default
configuration file from cvs-1.11.tar.gz works fine for me.

(couldn't get cvs over ssh to work yet on the sunos, though. works fine
on linux)
