Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.
We are using CVSNT 2.0.3.
Usage: cvs chacl -R [-r tag] {user|default}:[{[r][w][c]|[n]}] [directory...]
-R Recursively set permissions
-r Set permissions on specific branch
I first logged is as a local admin on the cvs server.
Then gave -
cvs chacl -R user:n directory
The system gives an error
cvs chacl: in directory .:
cvs [chacl aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first
I also have done a cvs checkout, but still the same error.
Regards,
Kirti.

It does work and the syntax is in the help file.
The trick is that by default everyone has full access so you first
need to specify a default ACL that denies this full access and then
add any user/group specific ACLs permitting access.
For example:
cvs chacl -a noread,nowrite,nocreate,notag,nocontrol
cvs chacl -u groupname -a read,write,create,tag,control
cvs chacl -u username -a read
This will set up deny-everything defaults with read-only for user
"username" and full access to group "groupname".
