This is old knowledge... The Temp folder CVSNT uses MUST be world writeable. Using %systemroot%\Temp is no good because of Microsoft changes: In NT4 this permission was the default and so it works In W2000 this is also the case In XP and up this is forbidden and so CVSNT cannot use this temp dir The best way (and spelled out in my installation tips) is to create a Temp folder completely in a different location and set the permissions to Everyone Full Control on this folder, then use this as the CVSNT Temp folder. Also you should enable the lockserver usage by checking out CVSROOT and uncommenting the Lockserver line and then check it back in again. This removes the need for writing locks into the repository itself too. The Temp folder is still needed as intermediate file storage during commits I believe. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Mike Sent: den 13 november 2003 11:54 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] CVSNT on real server environment A often encountered problem using CVSNT is "cannot find.: No such file or directory" when impersonation is enabled. This is mainly true using Eclipse as a CVS client. The eclipse staff just tell that this is an incompatibility of CVSNT. The simplest solution to this problem is to disable impersonation on CVSNT and additionally remove all access restrictions from the CVS (root) directories. But so no user access management can be established. The real problem is that CVSNT uses a temporary directory (default is %SystemRoot%\temp) and every user must have write permissions to this directory too, but on a real server ordinary users do not have this right. So the solution is to set a different temporary directory that every user of CVSNT can access. Now it is possible to restrict the access rights of users on a directory level, sothat nobody can read and/or change files which he is not authorized to. _______________________________________________ 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
