How to set permissions on the repository ?

[Pascal J. Bourguignon]

I get:
Permission denied.
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

How permissions must be set up?

A search  for "Permission  denied" on http://www.cvshome.org/  did not
produce anything useful.


There's two developers, `andre' & `pascal', both in the `regular' unix
group. I've checked that when using ssh host1 from host2 `pascal' runs
under group `regular' on host1.

All  directories in  the repository  are  writable by  the group.  The
history file  is writable by the  group. Why the developer  who is not
the owner of the repository can't do cvs update ?


host2% CVS_RSH=ssh \
       cvs -d :ext:host1:/home/andre/cvsroot checkout -rAR-1 calc_codes 
cvs server: Updating calc_codes
U calc_codes/Makefile

host2% cd cacl_codes

host2% cvs update -rAR-1
