cvs init

[Patrick Welche <prlw1%cam.ac.uk@localhost>]

$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir foo
$ cvs -d /tmp/foo init
cvs [init aborted]: init to an existing repository is restricted to members of the group cvsadmin
$ grep cvsadmin /etc/group 
$

I thought that if the cvsadmin group didn't exist on the system, this
restriction would be completely ignored? (according to "cvs admin" command -
no mention of it being applicable at all to "cvs init")

I'm pretty sure this used to work... (today's amd64 -current)

Thoughts?


Cheers,
