NetBSD  5.99.53 NetBSD 5.99.53 (GENERIC) #2: Sat Jul 23 12:39:11 CAT 2011  cherry@:/home/cherry/projects/port-xen/trunk/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/obj/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
cvs refuses to "cvs init" a new local repository without the current user being part of a bogus group called "cvsadmin"

This is pointless (and undesirable) behaviour, since it enforces a specific mechanism and policy on cvs users.


>How-To-Repeat:
$ (cd /tmp/foobar;cvs -d :local:/tmp/foobar/test init)
cvs [init aborted]: usage is restricted to members of the group cvsadmin
