This is not a problem with ViewVC so much as the misinteraction between
ViewVC and other parts of your system.  It appears that the user as
which ViewVC is running (probably the same user as which Apache HTTP
Server is running on your system ... /daemon/, /apache/, or whatever
that use may be) lacks the permissions to list the contents of the
/var/lib/rancid/CVS directory on your machine.  Fix that, and this
problem should go away.
