Details:

I have a dedicated Ubuntu 8.04 server that I would like to set up a CVS
repository on. I have followed various guides to try to set this up and always
get stuck at the same point.

$ cvs -d :pserver:pcm@localhost:/cvsrepo checkout .cvs [checkout aborted]:
could not get working directory: Function not implemented

I have set up the server two different ways, one using cvs and xinetd to run
the server, and currently I am trying the cvs/cvsd method. Both ways I am able
to start the server and log into the server using a local account or a cvs
created account. Once I try to check out or import anything I get the error.

In my current attempt I am not using a local account, but a cvsd generated
username/password.

I am on CVS version 1.12.13.

Here is the trace:

$ cvs -t -d :pserver:pcm@localhost:/cvsrepo checkout .

-> safe_location( where=(null) )

Let me know what other information is needed. I feel like this is just some
small permissioning problem that has been left out.
