I've had this problem several times with read-only, NFS-mounted repositories. # mv $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/val-tags $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/val-tags.hold And try a read-only CVS operation. If the repository is _really_ read-only, you should get an error. If you just give '-R' to cvs(1), but the respository can really be written to, it will write to val-tags. -- Crist J.
