CVS pserver and RedHat 6.2

[ole-thomas . naringsrud]

Hello!

CVS in pserver mode behave strange on my RedHat 6.2 installation. When
checking out from the repository CVS try to locate the file .cvsignore in
the /root catalog. Since this catalog is not searchable the checkout ends.
CVS 1.10.7 is shiped with RedHat 6.2. I have tried to installed a few other
versions of CVS  (1.10.5 and 1.10.8) both as rpm and tar, but I always get
the same result.
