Hi there,

following problem:

i want readonly access to a repository so i created the CVSROOT/readers 
file. However when I try to access it via pserver i get the following error:


C:\arbeit.src\temp\build>cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:buildrechner at cvs.internal:2401:/cvs_project
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server cvs.internal rejected 
access to /cvs_project for user buildrechner

or

C:\arbeit.src\temp\build>cvs co CodeGen
cvs checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password

cvs [checkout aborted]: authorization failed: server cvs.internal 
rejected access to /cvs_project for user
  buildrechner

any idea how to use CVSROOT/readers correctly ?

thanks and kind regards,
Bernhard.
