Failed to create lock directory 1

[lbrechler]

Just trying to initialize a new version of CVS - in conjunction with the NetBeans IDE - and getting an error that says:

cvs server: Updating repos
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/development/cvstree/repos'
(/development/cvstree/repos/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/development/cvstree/repos'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks,

Lindsay,
Check your file permissions in the repository and also check you are in the CVS group. Either one will give you grief.

Peter,

That's what it was. I did in fact need to be added as a member of the CVS group.

Thanks,
