Here's an obscure reason for a misleading error message. Scenario: CVSROOT=:pserver:John at myserver:e:/cvs Client running cvsnt 1.11.1.3 build 57h on XP Pro "cvs import" issues error messages like: cvs import: cannot open e:/cvs/projects/MyProject/.perms: Permission denied It turns out that "cvs import" tries to open e:\cvs\MyProject\.perms on the *client*. Normally the file doesn't exist but the error message is suppressed due to an "existence_error" check in the code. But on my client, e: happens to be a CD-ROM drive and happened also to have nothing in it. This evidently generated some different error code leading to the warning above. Inserting a CD eliminated the error message. Just trying to save others from the same grief. John
