Hi Bo and others, Well I have still not been able to settle the administrative rights issue on the database and to my misfortune also found the following mentioned in the "Cederqvist" manual: "On NT, the cvsadmin feature does not exist and all users can run cvs admin." Is there a work around it? Does this mean there can be no administrator for a CVS database setup on a NT server. As you said Bo I did create a "admin" file in the CVSROOT directory. I am using the ntserver protocol and use the network PDC (Primary Domain Controller) for authentication. I am sure that the client server setup is correct for I am able to do all the day to day work free of any hassles. It is in this environment that I want administrative rights on the database. What I can think of as of now is to be the sole user to have NTFS write permissions to the CVSROOT directory. I am not sure of the other issues that this might arise. Would it be possible for the other users to contine their normal activities without having any permissions (read, write whatsoever) to the CVSROOT directory.
