I have a local copy of the FreeBSD CVS repository which I use for
cvsup checkouts to multiple machines and CVSweb browsing.

How can I, as a nonpriviledged user without write access to the
repository, extract certain revisions? Access to HEAD works fine,
but as soon as I specify "-r" I get errors such as this:

naddy@fettuccini[~] cvs -Rd /home/ncvs/FreeBSD co -rRELEASE_3_2_0 mpg123
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot write /home/ncvs/FreeBSD/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied
