I installed CVSNT 2.5.04 in a RHEL AS4 box. The repository's owner was
'cvsroot', and everyone was given permission to read/write the repository.
But after logining the cvs server succefully, cvsroot could not check out
the module 'CVSROOT'.

Following is a trace of checking out attempt:

Is there anything missing during the installation / configuration of cvsnt
server?

Thanks!
