Is there a group 'cvsadmin' on your server system? If so, are you a
member of that group? If not, then that is your problem.

Determine what groups are you in on the linux side.
/usr/bin/id should print out the groups of which you are a member.
If 'cvsadmin' is not one of them, but a 'grep cvsadmin /etc/group'
or (for an NIS host) 'ypmatch cvsadmin group'

If the group exists and you are not in it, then you need to get yourself
added to the group. Note that if the group exists and it looks like you
could be in it, it may be that you need to use the 'newgrp cvsadmin'
command to make your login use that group (I doubt this should be
needed).

If for some reason, you need for cvs to use some other group for
administration purposes, you may have to rebuild with the configure
option --with-cvs-admin-group=someothergroupname (where
someothergroupname is the group name you want to use). Or, you may run
with a very insecure and dangerous mode by using the
--without-cvs-admin-group configure option (you probably do NOT want
this, but I mention it for completeness).

        Good luck,
