Re: group membership different for 1.12.10?

[Derek Price]

What are the permissions on /home/p2homer/cvsroot/CVSROOT itself?  And
/home/p2homer/cvsroot, for that matter?  Also, would you mind sending a
transcript of a failed session using the global trace (-ttt) option
(e.g. `cvs -ttt co homer')?

Incidentally, why is your CVSROOT/history file executable?

Regards,

Derek
