That is what we tried but we did not make any special provisions for the 
LockDir.

What we did to test this was to create a user "cvs" (also with a group 
with the same name) which owned all the directories in the /data 
hierarchy, so that owner and group of all files was set to "cvs". Using 
CVSROOT/passwd to set cvs user id to "cvs" worked ok so we then added 
individual users here, like "cvslth". "cvslth" was also a member of the 
 group "cvs" using group access settings. We had imagined that would 
work, but it did not. All rights within /data was "rwxrwxr-x" for files 
and dirs.

Is there an example on how to do this somewhere online? We could also 
live with using several repositories on the same server, but this 
doesn't seem possible as there is only one /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file 
on the server stating where the repository lies, right? The texts on 
multiple repositories we have found all talk about checking out from 
different server to the same directories on the client which is not what 
we want.
