Summary:  Project creation leads to incomplete CVS administration files

Original Submission:  Symptom :



cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/emms/emms'

   (/cvsroot/emms/emms/#cvs.lock): Permission denied

cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/emms/emms'

cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up





Analysis :



Some administration files in CVSROOT/ which should be checkout'ed automatically 
by CVS (they are: checkoutlist, config, passwd, readers) are not. The bug below 
is triggered by the lack of config which sets the lock folder to 
/var/lock/cvs/cvsroot/emms.



It looks like all projects created since the migration to the CERN branch are 
affected. 'emms' was fixed by hand (issuing local 'co <file>,v' commands). An 
affected sample for debugging purposes is 'polyxmass'.



Real cause of problem unknown at this time.
