What am I doing wrong? I found the following in the cvs (not cvsnt) manual: "On unix, if there is a group named cvsadmin, only members of that group can run cvs admin (except for the cvs admin -k command, which can be run by anybody). This group should exist on the server, or any system running the non-client/server CVS. To disallow cvs admin for all users, create a group with no users in it. On NT, the cvsadmin feature does not exist and all users can run cvs admin." I think I have read somewhere that with cvsnt, access to the admin command is restricted to users that are in the Administrators group on the servers. But this seems not to be true. On my system, any user who has access to the repository can run admin commands. Thanks for any help here (I must not be the only one who wants to do this?), Gerhard
