Bummer :-( Can we get a word from the Linux expert? ;-)

Stock CVS binaries want to lock the history file (which you can't as a
read-only user), but with a small patch (you find a link to it on the
web page) you can modify your CVS to ignore the locking. Sorry for the
inconvinience, CVS is stupid in this aspect. The patch gives you the
-R option.
