is there an elegant solution to this problem

titan# cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@192.168.1.200:/PubWare checkout 
python/PubWare.py
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/PubWare/python' 
(/PubWare/python/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/PubWare/python'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

i did some googling and it turns ou the problem is in the cvsroot 
anonymous doesn't have access, chmoding everything stikes me as a bit 
problematic.
