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 -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@unix-ag.uni-kl.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
