Re: can't check out modules

[Brandon Watterson]

Well that fixed that one error. Thanks!

Now I just need to figure out what

cvs server: Updating CVSROOT
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for
`/var/cvsroot/CVSROOT'
(/var/cvsroot/CVSROOT/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository
`/var/cvsroot/CVSROOT'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

means...

Ah its late, I'll work on it in the morning.  It
sounds like some user or permission problem.
