Thank you but .... I've just tried that and I still don't get the administrator's ability to change log messages. Do I need to restart the server ? Can the new 'admin' file have comments in it ? (Tried with and without, neither let me use the command). Uncertainly, Richard. -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Richard Wirth Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 3:52 PM To: Richard Kerry Subject: Re: [cvsnt] (no subject) Hello Richard, Thursday, April 21, 2005, 4:39:21 PM, you wrote: RK> Just tried a 'cvs admin -m' command (via graph|change log RK> message) to change a log message and got: RK> cvs [server aborted]: usage is restricted to repository RK> administrators RK> How do I tell cvs that I am the administrator ?
