CVS error when tring to get updates

[troller1900]

I do...
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq
$ cvs login

and they work fine then CVS update error when using:
$ cvs co -r pre_5_0_beta showeq
or
$ cvs -z3 up

"can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv10924"
"Permission denied"

The number after /tmp/cvs-serv changes each try.
Yes, I have verifyed that I can write the the /tmp folder.

The search from google seems to indicate an issue with the cvs server.
I have ran these several time in the past without any problems, but it has been a few months since I last ran an update.

Anyone else seen this kind of error?

I'm getting the same error.. I thought I was alone in the world.. My Linux box took a dump and I just got it back up and running.. I always login as root and when I tried to download I get the "can't create temp dir /tmp/cvs-servxxx..
Any help would be appreciated..

Strange, tried it this morning and download worked. Did it the same way.

running make install now, will see if it was just a server bug.
