Yep, permissions issue indeed. I assume you're running FreeBSD-CVSweb
2.0.6, the following guesswork is based on that. Some things to check:
Does the web server user have read and execute access to the
/var/www/cgi-bin directory? If not, is it acceptable to add read access
there?
If you don't want to add read access, try adding
"chdir('/some/where/with/read/and/exec/perms');" into the beginning of
cvsweb.cgi and see if it helps. I committed a similarish fix to the
development branch last weekend.
Let me know (via replying to this list) if the above works for you or
not.

No prob, this is the correct place.
