[Savannah-hackers] Problem with SKS CVS access

[Yaron Minsky]

I've been seeing problems with CVS access to Savannah.  Here's what
happened when I tried an anonymous login:

dragonfly: tmp $ cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/sks
login
(Logging in to address@hidden)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server subversions.gnu.org: EOF
dragonfly: tmp $

And here's the log sent to me by a user trying to access the repository:

pks# cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden/cvsroot/sks co sks
cvs server: warning: cannot write to history file
/cvsroot/sks/CVSROOT/history:
Permission denied
cvs server: Updating sks
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/sks/sks'
(/cvsroot/sks/sks/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/sks/sks'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
pks#

Any ideas?
Yaron
