Hi Carel,
I run Zope as normal user, e.g. carel. The zope instance is located at : whether your zope startup as the "zope" user (by default)? anyway, try to grant right for carel and zope for testing purpose
I ususally use chown zope:zope (that grant permission for zope for sure) at the cvs project folder
/home/carel/zope_2_7
The zope instance is not relevant in your case.
Is the /var/cvs/quality_system absolute or relative to the zope instance? I thought relative to the instance.....
it is absolute, it is the project folder inside the cvs root folder type: echo $CVSROOT to see if it is /var/cvs if so, your quality_system is your project name probably.
Maybe I am also missing something on CVS. Should I first do the 'export rootcvs' thing?
I'm not sure, but make sure the cvs works for your zope user can help you. Arthur
