 CVSROOT contains the administrative files for CVS. Only CVS
administrators can work here. Is the 'realuser' and admin on the CVS
server? If not then you have to explicitly add this user to the list
of CVS administrators. THis is done by creating a file in
K:\CVSrepository\CVSROOT named admin and inside this file list the
users that are supposed to be able to administrate CVS. Une user per
line and add a final empty line.
