See my comments posted yesterday on this very subject. In a nutshell: >> If a user is a Domain Administrator in their login domain, they are automatically a CVS administrator. Other users that you want to add as CVS admins are added on a per-repository basis by adding their base login name (not domain\username, just username) in the \ottawa\CVSROOT\admin file (create it if it is not present, just a text file with no extension), one username per line. << Note that you have to be an Administrator in your *login* domain. P.S. In case you didn't notice, all these messages are also available in the newsgroup news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt Glen Starrett glen.starrett at honeywell.com Senior Systems Architect, Tools & Technology Project Operations, Honeywell IC -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of pcart-grandjean at amadeus.net Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 4:42 AM To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] usage is restricted to repository administrators Hello, I'm very puzzeled by the way security is handled in CVS on NT. I have a very simple configuration. I do not use pserver and the repository is simply locally on my disk. My CVSROOT looks like ":local:D: \TestCvs\Repositories\Mgt". I use WinCvs 1.3.10.1 Beta 10. I try to issue the command cvs admin -o:1.1.1.1 "Star RFP-Common Platform.doc" but all I get is: cvs admin -o:1.1.1.1 "Star RFP-Common Platform.doc" ***** CVS exited normally with code 1 ***** cvs [admin aborted]: usage is restricted to repository administrators I have full access on the repository, I have created a CVSAdmins group with my user in it, I have created a "admin" file in the CVSROOT of the repository with my user in it, ... but nothing works. When I copied the repository as is on my home computer running Windows XP and using the same version of WinCvs, it worked fine without having to do anything. Please help, I don't know what to do anymore. Thanks, Pierre Cart-Grandjean pcREMOVETHISart-grandjean at amadeus.net _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
