Hum... here a little trick to set it correctly:
use the sgid bit on directory. This make all new files (including directories) create in the directory heritate the group ownership of the parent directories (with the exception of the sgid bit for regular files). The following commands should do it if execute on the local machine with CVSROOT set to something like /usr/local/cvs:
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chgrp cvs {} \;
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chmod g+srwx {} \;
chmod g-ws $CVSROOT/CVSROOTFor this to work, you have to make the anonymous user a member of the cvs group. The CVSROOT directory however should not be taken care because it contains very sensitive files. I don't know enough of CVS to know exactly which one.
For more details on sgid on directory: info fileutils , node 'Structure of File Permissions'.

It should be OK now, I hope :(
Luckily I checked my mail a last time;
otherwise ~10 hours of waiting ahead :-)
Goodnight.
