Hello thx for ur response,

My cvs root is not set to '/' and i just checked it and it looks ok. Also i tried to add the file to the the module in the tree that i was currently in ie. dev/test in cvs and i was in dev/ trying to add test.

the command i used was :

cvs add test.java then
cvs commit test.java

The thing is that i have been able to ad files in the past so something must've changed that im not aware off?

thx again

It would have been helpful if you'd shown us the exact command you typed
instead of just the output.  It looks like you're trying to add a file
to the very top level of your repository, which is generally a bad idea;
you usually add files to a particular module (subdirectory) rather than
to the top level.  It also looks like you have your CVSROOT set to "/",
which is an incredibly bad idea: you wouldn't make "/" your home
directory (I hope), so why are you using it for CVS's home directory?!?
