CVS LockDir Help

[William Asquith]

I am trying to use LockDir with cvs1.10.7 on Linux.  My root is
/home/dotcvs and I want locks in /home/cvslocks.  I have played with
permissions but still get this:
cvs checkout: Updating junkcvs
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot stat "/home/dotcvs/cvslocks": No
such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot stat "/home/dotcvs/cvslocks": No
such file or directory

I want CVS to have specific readers and writers.  From my reading I
need to use a separate lock directory to support read-only users.  If
so can someone provide some tutorial on how this works.  I don't find
this message in the help area on the cvshome page.

Thanks for the wonderful product. . .
