RE: Check out fails

[Rancier, Jeff]

OK, my username is jrancier, and my gid is 10.  They are both jrancier on
Solaris and Windows.  I'm using pserver, and I have no password set in my
/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd.  So, can I assume that the Solaris cvs
executable is failing, because I am not in the SU group locally, so the
initgroups returns -1?
