[cvsnt] Re: ACLs for groups?

Tue Oct 18 21:01:51 BST 2005

This email intrigued me, so I felt inclined to check it out.

If I have a group entry like so (in CVSROOT/group):

fakegroup: fred

and run a chacl command in module test like so:

cvs chacl -a none -u fakegroup -R

and then run:

cvs lsacl

I see:

user=fakegroup
        none

So it looks like it worked. But if I log in as fred, cvs behaves as though
I'm not in the acl at all. What gives? It does the same if I say
"noread,nowrite,notag,nocreate,nocontrol".

Erm, why only "similar"? I thought CVSNT was just "reusing" the NT
groups like it is "reusing" the NT users...

I suspect it was a test case error. I had not re-logged in after adding
myself to the group I was testing with. I just tried again with a
different group that I was already I member of and it worked just fine.

So, just forget I said anything. ;)
