OK, this is a security file like passwd so it is not among the files that get created automatically and which are checked out when you cvs co CVSROOT. You must use your favourite editor and create a file by this naem yourself. Put a list of names (one each line) like in the passwd file, except only user names are needed here. Save as CVSROOT/admin /Bo -----Original Message----- From: Arvind Raman [mailto:arvind_raman_tech at yahoo.com] Sent: den 18 mars 2002 11:57 To: CVSNT Subject: RE: [Cvsnt] aliasing as Admin Hi I went thru the list of files under the CVSROOT directory but couldn't find a file named admin.
