"CVS/Entries.Log: Permission denied" Error

[Krishna Sandeep Reddy]

Hi all,
Iam trying to check out a single file to a directory in /tmp. I am getting
the following error:

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open CVS/Entries.Log: Permission denied

This is happening only in /tmp and on particular machines, not all. For some
machines it works fine.
I tried a lot to get differences between machines where it failed and where
it passed, but everything looks very normal. What might be the problem? Is
it a problem with /tmp settings?

Regards,
dksr

/tmp has sticky bit, so only owner of file can remove this file
also check permissions for CVS/Entries.Log

Thanks Denis.
But Iam not able to check permissions for CVS/Entries.Log, because the
directory is empty before and after the
execution of the cvs command. I also don't see the Entries.Log file anywhere
in the directory from which Iam trying to
checkout.

Thanks,
