If you have write permissions in the directories, on the server, that you want 
to commit to... Yes.

It should not. If you are getting error messages at this point please copy and 
paste all of them for the command EXACTLY as you got them into a message to 
this group, it would help in figuring out what problem you are having.

So after you try to commit, everyone starts getting, unknown to the mailing 
list, error messages???


I think you may be having problems with your user interface (aka Tortoise), 
and questions about it are better answered on it's mailing list. I would 
suggest first searching through their archive[1] and then subscribing to the 
tortoisecvs-users mailing list[2] and ask your questions there. Also you 
should probably take a look at their website[3] and FAQ[4].
