anonymous pserver and r/w permissions

[Jeronimo Pellegrini <jeronimo@bigbross.com>]

Hello.

I have set up an anonymous pserver here, and there's just one thing that I 
don't know how to solve.

The user that logs in to do anonymous reading is the Linux user "anonymous". 
Now, this user has read-only permissions on the repository. So, when I try 
to connect cvs will tell me this:

cvs server: failed to create lock directory in repository `/var/cvs/project': Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/var/cvs/project'

The group cvs has write permission all over /var/cvs. But I don't want 
to add anonymous to the group cvs because group cvs has write 
permission on the project files (I want this server to be secure, 
that's one of the reasons I'm running Debian).

Is there any standard procedure for this? I tried google, but had no 
luck: there are several matches, but the advice is usually to "give 
write permission to anonymous"...

Thanks a lot,
J.
