I miss reported. The problem continues on solaris 8. A plain su to
root with no `-' does not allow a user to commit. I still get the
message about root not being allowed.
`who am i' ..at the command line shows
reader pts/4 Dec 7 16:47 (:0.0)
But cvs commit still results in:
"/tmp/cvsc_ayxh" 8 lines, 296 characters
cvs [server aborted]: cannot commit files as 'root'
cvs commit: saving log message in /tmp/cvsd_ayxh
I think I will edit otpions.h, at least temporily, until I figure what
other config might help the above situation.
