After setting the premissions of the /var/lib/cvs directory as you did
above you need to do a:

cvs init

as root.

if you did it before go into /var/lib/cvs and try to do:

chgrp src -R *
chmod g+ws -R *

and then try to see if you get access as a user. Type "id" to see that
you are in the src group.
