How does CVS Login Work?

[thomas . maciejewski]

I am moving a directory over from one CVS location to another.  The
permissions on the new directory are a bit different since it is set to 770
where I am in the group.  When I try to co a project it asks me to do a cvs
login.

When I do cvs login <username>  it gives me

cvs login: authorization failed: server <servername> rejected access to
<directory> for user <username>

but I should have full permissions to this directory.

I would like to know a bit more as to how cvs login works ... where does it
store its information etc ...

Tom
