I am using cvsnt version 2.5.03 build-2260 on linux platform. I am trying to understand the access settings using chacl command. My motive is to lock specific branches which may also include the root(HEAD branch). I want to lock the branch for everyone and only give read access to everyone. I may also want to unlock the branch. I am executing the following command in the repository root directory on the server inorder to lock a specific branch: cvs chacl -R -r Maint_Branch_0_2 -m "0.2 has been locked" -a read,nowrite,notag,nocontrol,nocreate tracker/ where "Maint_Branch_0_2" is the branch name and "tracker" is the module name But I am still able to checkin files in the above branch. my CVSROOT/config file has the entry: AclMode=compat Apart from the above CVSROOT/config setting is there any other configuration parameter required to enable ACL? I would be grateful if anyone can guide me in how and from where to execute the branch lock command. Will there also be a way to unlock the branch again? Thanks in Advance, Ketan
