Problem in logging on to CVS server

[sumeshabraham]

Hi All,

I've a CVS setup script which is given below.

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export CVSROOT=server:sumesh@nycvs01:/var/cvs/ig
echo Now login to cvs using : cvs login

When i execute this script and supply the password,error is displayed as "cvs login: authorization failed: server nycvs01 rejected access to /var/cvs/ig for user sam

Why is this happening? How does user "sam" come into picture? I heard that if any user has changed his password recently and any cvs session with the old password is still open this can happen? I'm confused?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sumesh
