You're only not allowed to commit as root if CVS can't figure out who
you really are.  As long as you login as yourself and then su to root
(rather than logging in as root), CVS should be able to figure out who
you really are.

If you really want to eliminate the check, look for CVS_BADROOT in
options.h.
