Happens on any system
>Description:
Running the following on my side:

cvs -d freebsdanoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs checkout -r RELENG_5_4 src

Error is:

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot write /home/ncvs/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied

Not a CVS expert but this sounds like a problem on the server, and it happens from linux client or freebsd.
