Hi, I've recently migrated our CVS server to a new machine, and since then several users have been reporting errors along the following lines: T [...] T MyDir/File.cpp Unable to rename file /MyRepo/MyDir/,File.h, to /MyRepo/MyDir/File.h,v for 1 second, still trying... Unable to rename file /MyRepo/MyDir/,File.h, to /MyRepo/MyDir/File.h,v for 2 seconds, still trying... [...] Unable to rename file /MyRepo/MyDir/,File.h, to /MyRepo/MyDir/File.h,v for 9 seconds, still trying... Unable to rename file /MyRepo/MyDir/,File.h, to /MyRepo/MyDir/File.h,v for 10 seconds, giving up... cvs [server aborted]: cannot rename file /MyRepo/MyDir/,File.h, to /MyRepo/MyDir/File.h,v: Permission denied ***** CVS exited normally with code 1 ***** At first I thought this was the AV getting in the way of CVS as I had to get our IT dept to disable it on the old server and hadn't yet done so for the new one. However, having finally got them to come and disable it, they discovered that it wasn't even installed. So, given that it's not AV, what else could be causing the above?
