I think I forgot to mention it earlier, but I can do cvs operations (checkout, update, etc.) succesfully as myself on the server. It's only when I do them remotely that I get the error, and yes, the usernames are the same, so that the 'cvs server' that rsh starts up is running as the same user that I am when I do the operations on the server. Also, I have chown'd the entire tree to myself and tried it and no-go. Thanks for the suggestion though. I already have a www group that owns the repository own server that both root and myself are in on the server. Just for kicks, I duplicated that group on my workstation (with the same gid) and made myself a member, but no go. > Doug White > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | www.freebsd.org --- John Baldwin <jobaldwi@vt.edu> -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
