Hallo I am new to cvsnt. I have a little problem. I am sure you people can solve it out for me. On the server side I have a repository 'nam' The user 'xyz' ahs only read access for this directory. When the user xyz use the checkout command to get the workign directory the following error is coming cvs checkout nam cvs checkout: Updating nam cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for `/usr/local/cvsroot/nam' (/usr/local/cvsroot/nam/#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/usr/local/cvsroot/nam' cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up If on the server side I provide the user xyz the 'w' rights then he can successfully checkout. But I dont want to provide him write rights. What should I do ? I have gone thourgh the documentation again and again but could not understand the locks. To get the read lock, should I create the directoy #cvs.lock and file #cvs.rfl on the server side or on the client Pls help me in this matter Best Reagdrs, Ahmad
