Hi,

Just set up CVSNT 2.0.23 on a Debian Linux box.

Seems OK, except when I do

   C:\TEMP>cvs -d :pserver:tma at linux1.aal.gatehouse:/cvs/av ls
   Listing modules on server

   cvs [server aborted]: Failed to obtain lock on /home/data/cvsdata/aal/av:
001 FAIL Lock not within repository

It should be noted that "/cvs/av" is a symbolic link to "/home/data/cvsdata/aal/av".
This is our standard setup (with "vanilla" CVS), and indeed login/checkout/commit
works fine. It's apparently only "ls" that gives trouble.
