Description of problem:
I just upgraded to the most recent cvs errata package released yesterday (20th
January) and now I can't login to cvs. I upgraded using up2date. Now when I try
to login:

moos:pts/0 16:30 [~] 1> cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:moosauthor.edu:2401/home/moos/REPOSITORY
CVS password: 
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from moos.mit.edu: cvs pserver:
cannot open /home/moos/REPOSITORY/CVSROOT/config: Permission denied

I'm not sure why this is happening. The permissions on the config file are the
same as they were before I upgraded:

moos:pts/0 16:35 [~] 0> ls -l ~/REPOSITORY/CVSROOT/config
-r--r--r--    1 moos     moos          527 Oct  1 16:36
/home/moos/REPOSITORY/CVSROOT/config

So, for now I can't use CVS, unless I downgrade, but that re-opens a security
hole, so this is pretty annoying. Please help.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to most recent cvs package
2. Try to log in

available.

well, this lack of response has been pretty disappointing.

I've switched the computer (and our other linux computers) to Debian.
