Description Alan Cox 2001-11-17 18:06:16 UTC 
Simplest way to demonstrate

su
mkdir fred
chmod 700 fred
^D

cd fred
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@somecvssite:/cvsroot/whatever module

Replies

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot make directory module: No such file or directory

Rather than "permission denied"
Comment 1 Eido Inoue 2004-10-29 18:21:53 UTC 
confirmed current releases do emit "permission denied"
