I haven't tested it thoroughly, but I don't get those old errors of the form: cvs commit: Rebuilding administrative file database cvs [commit aborted]: cannot open dbm file .#1013 for creation: Permission denied thanks for getting it to use gdbm (if that was the problem, I was never 100% sure) > ------------------------ > cvs can't do a checkout when pwd = '/'. Reported by Travis Howell > (Win98SE + cygwin1.1.3) I did: cd / export CVSROOT=/cvs cvs co CVSROOT cd CVSROOT Things worked and looked fine I'm running Win98SE + cygwin1.1.4 maybe the face Travis was using 1.1.3?
