Cvs temporary directories for server

[Anita Chacko]

Hi
CVS server creates temporary directories in /tmp
directory as cvs-servpid.Why are these
required?Sometimes they are not removed
automatically.In that case,if we don't remove these
directories manually ,will it affect the normal
operations for other users?
And also sometimes,it creates files such as
#cvs.lastdir.43762 in /tmp directory.Why are these
created and will these affect the operation of CVS?
In my project,one developer is getting the lock error
when trying to checkout;there is no lock dir/file
anywhere except this file in /tmp.But I am able to
checkout normally.I don't know why only he is getting
the lock error.Can someone explain this?

Thanks,
Anita chacko
