problems with groups

[Nina Jansen]

Hi

I hope this is the right place to ask: I'm having some problems with
setting up at cvs pserver. I have set up the cvsrepository such that is
is owned by a user cvsuser and the group cvsgroup. the permissions are
like this:

drwxrwx---    4 cvsuser  cvsgroup     4096 Sep 30 12:03 cvs

As cvsuser I can log in to the pserver, add new projects and everything
I need. Now I want to be able to do this as another user. My
CVSROOT/passwd file looks like this:

cvsuser:some_password
jansen:some_other_password

the user jansen is a member of several groups, among them cvsgroup. As
user jansen I can go into the cvs-directory and create files and do
whatever I need. I can also log into the pserver using cvs login.
However, every time I try to do something (like start a new project, or
check out an existing project) I get the following error message from
the pserver:

setgid failed: Operation not permitted

The command 'id' gives me the following:

uid=59052(jansen) gid=59061(cvsgroup)
groups=59052(jansen),501(bam),59061(cvsgroup)

So I should have permission to do whatever I want, right? Why does the
pserver not recognise me as someone who has acess to using the
repository?
