E: Change folder permissions to reflect CVS Group

Hale$ cd /usr/local/cvsrepos
   
Hale$ chgrp -R cvs  .

Hale$ chmod ug+rwx  . CVSROOT

Note: CVS handles read-only rights for anonymous users itself. They need write rights in order to create lock files.

For windows users. If you are using local CVS and the repository is on a networked file system which is served by the Samba SMB server, some people have reported problems with permissions. Enabling WRITE=YES in the samba configuration is said to fix/workaround it. (not verified by me or the Cederquest people)
