I am beginning to experiment with cvs, or I shold say I'm trying to.  
Every time I try to start, with the cvs import command, it tells me I 
don't hve sufficient access.  I have made a directory /usr/chuckr/cvs for 
the files to live in, and my CVSROOT has /usr/chuckr/cvs.  I wanted to 
experiment with the new nvi editor (messing around with it's new tcl/tk 
capabilities).  The clean sources live in /usr/chuckr/nvi.1.65, so I 
cd'ed into /usr/chuckr/nvi.1.65  and I issued the command:

cvs import -m "Imported nvi" nvi/nvi.1.65 start
cvs import: Sorry, you don't have sufficient access to /usr/chuckr/cvs
cvs [import aborted]: /usr/chuckr/cvs/CVSROOT: No such file or directory
Journey2:/usr/chuckr/nvi.1.65:352 >ls -ld /usr/chuckr/cvs
drwxr-xr-x  2 chuckr  wheel  512 May 16 16:29 /usr/chuckr/cvs/

All the files involved are owned by me.  I have root here, but I don't 
think it should be needed and I don't want to use it if I don't have to.  
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Do I need to create a file or directory named CVSROOT?
