I'm using the CVS package on NetBSD 1.3.1 (i386 port). After a
sucessfull installation I read the manuals, checkedout the
CVSROOT/modules file added some modules and then tried to commit the
fille which resulted as follows:

	newbuild# cvs commit CVSROOT/modules
	cvs [commit aborted]: cannot commit files as 'root'
	newbuild#

I've checked the manual but can't find any notes about root not being
allowed to use CVS. Does anyone know why this has happened or what I
have done wrong and maybe what I can do to continue.
