Q1) is $CVSROOT ~=/usr/local/cvsroot/ ?
Q2) did you edit $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/config {to mod the LockDir variable} in
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/ or did you do a `cvs -d $CVSROOT checkout CVSROOT` and
edit it in the checked out location then do a checkin? Note that except for
the password file, the second method (`cvs checkout CVSROOT`) is the way all
the files in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT should be edited.
Q3) did you do a checkin in $CHECKOUTPATH/CVSROOT?
Q4) was this helpful at all?
