Checkout Problem

[Joseph Sottnik]

I'm a newbie to CVS. CVS is on a linux box. My source code is VB on a
Win98SE machine.

I was able to import my source into CVS, but I am unable to checkout that
same source. Here's the error I get in WinCVS:

cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied

I suspect this is a permission problem somewhere on the linux box, but I
don't know why cvs is trying to get to the /root directory.

Any guidance would be appreciated!
