RE: CVS/Entries..

[Gurpreet Singh (SCM)]

I am getting  it on a Windows 2000 system.
Its not on a NFS or so.
Also, this happens randomly on different systems - not everytime.

The permissions are intact, the network login is the local administartor -
to be more sure that this should not be the reason.

Regards
Gurpreet S

Are you checking out into an existing working directory or is checkout
creating a new working directory?  If the former, check the permissions
and ownership of the CVS subdirectory and the files in it.  If the
later, then I'm guessing that your working directory is on some kind of
a network filesystem (e.g., Samba) whose permission model doesn't match
what CVS expects.
