I am trying to give access to only members of idwgroup which contains idw
user as member and the cvs user mculv is mapped to idw (system user) so that
mculv can get all the permissions of idw.

Thanks,

What about the parent directories above cvsroot/CVSROOT ?
you don't show the ls listing for those as Larry mentioned.  
If they likewise are owned by cvs:techops and aren't 777, you still
won't be able to write your history file into CVSROOT as user
idw:idwgroup

Also, I have found that creating a cvs group and setting the
setgid bit on the root of the repository is very important - it
ensures that files are always created accessible to any developer in the
cvs group.  Having your tree owned by cvs:techops and users that aren't
in the same group seems problematic.

Cheers,
Teala

I think permissions looks ok to me.  I don't know what else I am missing
here.

CVS server side:

# pwd                                   
/f1s7_16267/tools/Techs-Ops/cvsroot             ---- Repository root

Any idea what's wrong with above setup.

The system user you're running as doesn't have read permission in that
directory or one of its parent directories.
