Cool, huh?

And into spanking new directories both times.

Ok, I've looked at the things you suggest and will post the results at
the end of this message, but after looking at the troubleshooting guide
- which I should have consulted, yes yes I *know*, k? I wonder if *one*
problem is that /etc/inetd.conf on my cvs server machine is empty.

That may be an entirely separate issue. There is obviously a
permissions issue because root on the server machine can checkout
whereas my user can not. Remember that I can checkout to the server
machine using an ssh console with the same user.group
(client.uid.gid==server.uid.gid!!)

This is so weird.

I suspect there are more than one issue involved in this.

Anyway, I'm poking away at it. It's not critical, just hobby projects,
but in the long run I want to rescue my employer from VSS, but clearly
I'm not in a position to do that yet.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks very much for tuning in. Here's the
outputs from your suggestions.

Thanks.
Ok - your tests.
