CVS issue at gBorg???

When I try running a CVS update against any of my checkouts, I get
complaints like the following:

cbbrowne@dba2:~/Slony-I/slony1-1_1_STABLE> cvs update -Pd
? Emptydir
? Win32/test_I_droptab.in
? Win32/out
cannot create_adm_p /tmp/cvs-serv8374/Win32
Permission denied

The main diagnostic that I have been able to find is the following:

<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/htm...9/msg00006.html>

The most common source of that error is a missing CVSROOT/Emptydir
directory and lack of permission to create it. The simplest fix is to
run "cvs init" as a user who has write permission in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT.
(It's safe to run init on an existing repository -- it preserves all the
existing stuff and just creates anything that's missing.)

*When I try cvs update I get: "cannot create_adm_p /tmp/cvs-serv5153/...
Permission denied*

This has to do with some changes that were made in cvs. You have to
create an Emptydir directory in every CVSROOT directory. The cvsd user
does not need to have write access to this directory.

It also seems plausible that /tmp has filled up on gBorg...

You should contact the admin of gborg, who seems to be pretty good at
fixing these things.

This work was visionary and imaginative, and goes to show that visionary
and imaginative work need not end up well.

Already fixed ... we moved gborg off of the template(s) this weekend, and
Chris (Gborg Admin) had thought he had tested everything afterwards ...
the problem was a missing Emptydir directory in CVSROOT for each project
.... now *that* relates to what hte actually error message is, I'm not
sure, but Darcy was able to point me to the 'solution' to the problem ...

How I'm looking forward to have everything moved off of those blasted
templates :(

Actually it was Chris Browne who located the solution, I just forwarded it
onto to the appropriate people(person).
