Problem with fresh 1.11.1

[Guus Leeuw]

Heya,

quick question on Linux SuSE 6.4 with CVS 1.11:

If I get the latest from ftp.cvshome.org, and issue following:
$ tar zxvf cvs-1.11.tar.gz
$ cd cvs-1.11
$ ./configure --enable-client --enable-server
$ make
$ make check
$ su
Password:
$ make install
^D
$ cd
$ cd Work/wps
$ cvs -nq upd
[server aborted]: cannot create_adm_p in /tmp/cvs-serv12343
$

Shrug. Looking at the code, this error is only thrown out in the
server.c where it tries to setup the temporary structure on /tmp

It can create /tmp/cvs-serv12343, /tmp/cvs-serv12343/CVS,
/tmp/cvs-serv12343/wps, and /tmp/cvs-serv12343/wps/CVS but after
that it dies.

Loads of free diskspace and inodes. -f -T in inetd.conf don't help.
Setup is a pserver running as root but then changing to cvsuser.
$CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/home/CodeRepository.

Now, I'm at a complete loss, thought I saw this being mentioned
somewhere but cannot find it back.

Thing as well is, that I have at home a SuSE Linux 6.4 as well,
whereby all works fine there.

Can anybody help / advise / open my eyes? Thanks.
