I have CVSNT setup on a Win2000 Server. Clients are usually on either
Win2000 or WinXP using TortoiseCVS. My problem is when the users are trying
to check out a module, they can "fetch list" of modules on the CVS server.
Although they are returned all the available modules, they also see CVSROOT.
Is there a way I could prevent users from being able to see this "module"? I
have set the permissions on this folder to prevent users from editing files
except for a select few (history, etc). The way the permissions are able to
do what they need, however I just want the CVSROOT to be hidden as well as
better protected from being tampered with by anyone (figure best to just not
let them know it's there in the first place).
 
Thanks in advance for any help, tips or suggestions,
 
 
Kevin Linder
