Hi all,

I am trying to use cvs and encountered the following
error when I try to perform cvs import:
Cannot access /home/cvsowner/cvsrepository/CVSROOT
Permission denied

I can use cvs login and login to cvs successfully. I
can also checkout the CVSROOT using cvsowner userid.

I have added the following file under CVSROOT: 
- writers
- readers

Here is my config:
1. File permission
/home/cvsowner/cvsrepository
drwxr-xr-x  3 cvsowner cvs 4096 Sep 15 16:09
cvsrepository

/home/cvsowner/cvsrepository/CVSROOT
drwxrwxr-x  3 cvsowner cvs 4096 Sep 16 11:05 CVSROOT

2. CVSROOT/writers and CVSROOT/readers contain the
following line
ht

3. /etc/group has the following entry
cvs:x:501:ht

4. user ht has the following entry in .bashrc
CVSROOT=:pserver:ht at testsystem:/home/cvsowner/cvsrepository
export CVSROOT

5. user cvsowner has the following entry in .bashrc
CVSROOT=:local:/home/cvsowner/cvsrepository
export CVSROOT

Thanks for the help.
Hanny
