The script is out of date -- LockServer became the default some time ago 
(Yes, in other words).  I have a separate group for CVS Administrators 
(CVSAdmins, if memory serves) since our server is maintained by a 
separate group. 

The script needs to be simplified somewhat too, since the CVS ACL 
commands are even more robust and powerful now.  It's not a high 
priority for me though -- once I got my own server set up I posted the 
script for others to use, but haven't taken the time to keep it up to 
date.  If you want to update it and post the result, I'll be happy to 
explain anything you need to know while setting this up.
