Hi Arthur,

Thanks for the help, but I still haven't managed to get anywhere.  Just in 
case, I tried creating a new user "Billy" belonging to the same CVS Users 
group as "Thomas".

The first co command gave me an empty file, and printed the err msg to 
stderr.

So I ran the second msg with the debug level @ 3 and got the following:

  -> Tracelevel set to 3.  PID is 3032
  -> Session ID is bd8472a9d075371
  -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:billy at 192.168.102.2:/Medix
cvs [server aborted]: cannot change permissions on temporary directory 
D:\CVS\Temp/cvs-serv1248: Permission denied


I even increased the tracelog to level 5, but got the exact same output (the 
name of the temp dir changed)


Any ideas?

Thanks!

Eric
