Hello everyone, Can someone please explain how lockserver works? We are running CVSNT 2.04 on a Windows 2003 server and trying to do the following Local Security Groups ===================== cvs_proj1_read cvs_proj1_write Repository Tree =============== F:\home\cvs\proj1 |-> cvs_proj1_read has only read access |-> cvs_proj1_write has read/write access All sub-folders of proj1 inherit permissions from proj1. CVS Temp Directory ================== Everyone read/write access CVS Lock Directory (f:\cvslocks) ================================ Everyone read/write access Now the problem is, CVS is trying to create the #cvs.lock stuff inside F:\home\cvs\proj1 which fails for any user who is not in the cvs_proj_write group. Our config file looks like this: ================================ LockDir=f:\cvslocks LockServer=none We've also tried this: ====================== #LockDir=cvslocks LockServer=localhost:2402 But that yields the same results. How can I tell CVSNT to put lock files in a specific folder that is NOT in the repository? BTW, we can't upgrade to 2.05 since there seems to be a bug with processing the loginfo file in that version. Thank you for your help John John De Lello DelWare Software Solutions, LLC (860) 384-0546
