Be default cvs is configured with --disable-rootcommit which defines
CVS_BADROOT for the build and disallows the user 'root' from doing a
'cvs commit' or any other write operations. You can configure and
rebuild your cvs executable to allow root to do commits, but it is not
the default.

        Enjoy!
