Hello, Notice that the CVSROOT directory appears 2x in the error message: cvs [server aborted]: Cannot access /usr/local/cvsroot/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT: No such file or directory This seems to be a simple problem, but I have searched the archives and the manuals, but can't find the answer. I have removed the CVSROOT variable from the environment on the server, it doesn't exist in the environment on the client - and I still get the error message. If I remove /usr/local/cvsroot from the CVSROOT on my test wincvs client or tortoisecvs client, it complains that it needs a cvsroot directory, but if I put it in, then it appears 2x. I am running a wincvs client and a tortoisecvs client on a windows NT machine, a gcvs client on a linux box, and the cvsnt repository exists on a Redhat Linux 9 machine. All give the error when I include /usr/local/cvsroot in the client CVSROOT variable. But only the windows clients insist on having the directory - in other words, if I leave /usr/local/cvsroot off the linux client, it checks out fine. Thanks, Paul
