Larry,
First let me say "thanks" for your time in helping me resolve this and secondly
I like the Calvin quotes.
OK, here is where I am at now:
I removed the user "cvs" and created the new user "cvsuser" as a system id. I
chown all the stuff so that everything from /home/CVSROOT on down shows user
"cvsuser" and group "cvs".
I then deleted the passwd file.
Now when I try to login I get the following message:
"cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX rejected
access to /home/CVSROOT for user craig"
So it looks like I have gotten a little further. I have verified that user
"craig" has group "cvs", so why would it be rejecting it?
Thanks.
