RE: Please help with CVS admin -l

[Farshad Mahjoubi]

Hi

This happened on the server. I can consistentlly can reproduce this.
I am new to cvs and I tried this command not from my sandbox and did it on
the server. I have to go and clean up the leftover dangelling #cvs.lock
and #cvs.wfl..pid .... Thanks to U guys and the email list.

Still am afraid to use this but apparently is there a staright way to lock a
Branch on cvs? Or I need to add scripts in commitinfo to do this for a
specific Branch.

Local repository or client/server?  What version(s) of CVS?  What
platform(s)?

Can you get a traceback from the core dump?
