What am I doing wrong here? I need to be able to write to /var/cvs. This used to work before I moved these groups into an LDAP directory instead of /etc/group:

[scarolan@watcher:/var/cvs]$ touch test.txt touch: cannot touch `test.txt': Permission denied

[scarolan@watcher:/var/cvs]$ ls -ld drwxrwsr-x 4 cvs cvsgrp 4096 May 18 2008 .

[scarolan@watcher:/var/cvs]$ id scarolan uid=4002(scarolan) gid=4002(scarolan) groups=10000(operations),10001(cvsgrp),4002(scarolan)

One possibility is that test.txt already exists in that directory and that the group cvsgrp does not have write permissions to it.

What is the output of 'ls -l /var/cvs/test.txt' ?
