The pserver info helps - you might get more of an idea if you try
it locally first (that will eliminate some possibilities) - set
your cvsroot to just /home/cvs/repository - you could also check
that cvsdev1 has execute access on /home/cvs (not always a given)
- anyway, if it works as cvsdev1 you know it's not a permissions
issue, it's a cvs pserver issue (probably depending on the user
that the pserver runs as). On that point, why not run your
pserver as cvs and be done with it?
crying baby - stopping now.
cheers,
Dave.
