[cvsnt] Re: ACLs for groups?

I see! My test user was inadvertently in the linux group "cvsadmin" and
this was causing anything in the CVSROOT/group file to be overridden. It
works great! I like it! Thanks a lot!

You should see a bunch of add_valid_group lines earlier, eg:

21:34:07:   -> Checking admin file d:/repo/CVSROOT/admin for user tmh
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(testgroup)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(admin)
21:34:07:   -> Checking local access token for groups
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Domain Users)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Everyone)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Debugger Users)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Users)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Administrators)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(INTERACTIVE)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Authenticated Users)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Authenticated Users)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(LOCAL)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Domain Admins)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Enterprise Admins)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(Schema Admins)
21:34:07:   -> add_valid_group(CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS)

The first one comes from the CVSROOT/group file, the second (admin)
because I am an adminsitrator, and all the others from the system.
