[Aaron Kynaston]

Ah, understandable, I wish I could give you some help here, I'm new to CVS and Unix more or less - is everything working now?

yep,  I've compiled with SETXID_SUPPORT, I've modified main.c running it
setuid, I just added line to main.c near the beginning:

setuid(geteuid());

like FAQ file it recommends.

here is my cvs binary permissions:
-rwxr-sr-x    1 root     p3cvsg    1557704 May  6 15:49 /usr/bin/cvs

Regarding the questions of Aaron:
Did you login with your password? Yes I did.


I'm guessing your repository top is /src? Yes, it is.

have you checked your rights to CVSROOT? (ls -l?)
drwxrws---    4 root     p3cvsg       4096 May  7 16:53 CVSROOT


it's almost as if you have a CVS database that someone's been moving stuff
around in it . .
well we are trying to move my current cvs repository to another more
powerful


here you are an example:
$export CVSROOT=myserver:/myrepository/src
$export CVS_SERVER=/usr/bin/cvs
$ cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2 (client/server)

$cvs CVSROOT
cvs server: Updating CVSROOT
U CVSROOT/checkoutlist
U CVSROOT/commitinfo
U CVSROOT/config
U CVSROOT/cvsignore
U CVSROOT/cvswrappers
U CVSROOT/disallow.sh
U CVSROOT/editinfo
.......

if I do a:
$export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/myrepository/src

$cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/myrepository/src
CVS password: my_password
$cvs co CVSROOT
Cannot access /local/p4cvs/src/CVSROOT
File exists

Thanks for the help.
Moises.

That implies that either access(2) returned with errno set to EEXIST
(which seems highly unlikely) or you've compiled with SETXID_SUPPORT
defined and you don't have read and execute permission on that
directory.
