Under your instruction, I tried several times on
changing group but all failed. So I listed my whole
process as follows to check:

When setuping the cvs, I had used some group commands.

1. useradd -d /cvsroot cvs
2. chmod 771 /cvsroot
3. useradd cvspub
4. usermod -G cvs cvspub

I added passwd/writers/readers in /cvsroot/CVSROOT/ as
root.

So I had the checkout problem which I submitted. 

Then I tried to change the group as you suggested:

chgrp -G cvs /cvsroot

Still didn't work right.

Then

usermod -G cvs sam

chmod g+s /cvsroot/

No matter what I tried, I couldn't checkout the moved
repository from the former cvs PC. 
All I wanted was to remove the former cvs repository
to a new home, red hat 7.0 host PC.
