I've got my issues re cygwin path for ssh access squared away. Now I want to check in some files. I'm using the book "Open Source Development with CVS" as a guide. I get to the point of commit and I get. Stuck again. It seems to me that this is something out of my control - or is it? Here is my screen dialog $ cvs -d:ext:ramey@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost commit -m "initial check ramey@cvs.sourceforge.net's password:<password entered here> cvs commit: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/boost/boost/boost/archive' (/cvsroot/boost/boost/boost/archive/#cvs.lock): No such file or directory cvs commit: lock failed - giving up cvs [commit aborted]: lock failed - giving up I would appreciate any help anyone has to offer.

You need to add the archive directory to cvs before doing commits in it; would be my guess: cd .../boost-root/boost cvs <stuff> add archive PS. Eventually you'll want to get your SSH public key to SourceForge so that cvs doesn't ask you for the password all the time. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq
