I have been reading the news posts and tried following them to setup an admin file to limit access to CVSROOT. I am using 2.0.51 of CVSNT with the SSPI protocol for user login. How do I go about limiting access to CVSROOT and some cvs commands like import and remove? I want to have a way to create a list of admins who are the only one's who can configure CVS and run certain commands like import and remove. I tried adding a new file in CVSROOT called "admin" which contains one users login on each line. Each user is to be an admin. I then changed the config file from "#SystemAuth=yes" to "SystemAuth=yes". Users not in the admin file were able to checkout CVSROOT. I then changed the config line to "SystemAuth=no". Now no one was able to log in to CVS. They kept getting "cvs [login aborted]: no such user clehman in CVSROOT/passwd". Contrary to the commit above the line that states "# Set this to `no' if pserver shouldn't check system users/passwords" it looks like the system is trying to access passwd file which doesn't even exists. How can I get what I want done with the admin file, or the chacl command, or windows group lists? What is the best way to do this? Thanks, Curtis Lehman
