RE: question for cvs again.

[Teala Spitzbarth]

I'm not sure exactly what is happening in your situation but have you:
 
1) checked the permissions on the actual $CVSROOT/CVSROOT directory?
    and on the history file within that directory?
 
2) Running on RH linux I found we had to set up the $CVSROOT directory
to have
    the setgid bit set (with chmod g+s directory)
 
3) is your user "david"?  it looks like the error message is that the
cvs process can't write
    to the directory /home/david/cvs or /home/david/cvs/CVSROOT? Check
the perms
    on those directories too...
