CVS: permission denied?

[Sam Roberts]

I can't do an update in my working, readonly, copy of mailutils. So I
tried again from scratch, but this happens:

~/s/t $ cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/cvs
CVS password: 
~/s/t $ cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvs checkout mailutils
cvs server: failed to create lock directory in repository
`/cvs/mailutils': Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/mailutils'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
~/s/t $ 

Is it just me?

Sam
