Hi all,
I am trying to migrate a Linux cvs standard repository to Linux cvsnt
2.5.03.
If I use cvsnt as cvs standard then all is okay but I have some problems
when I try to use the new cvsnt security features.
I done the following:
- mkdir /cvs/cvsroot
- export CVSROOT=/cvs/cvsroot (in /etc/profile)
- groupadd cvs
- useradd cvs -g cvs
- chown -R cvs.cvs /cvs
- chmod -R ug+rws /cvs
- mv old-rep /cvs/cvsroot (old-rep contains also old config dir CVSROOT)
- mkdir /appo
- cd /appo
- mkdir test1
- cd test1
- cvs import -m "test1" test1 a1 b1
- the previous command works and creates the module/dir 'test1' in
/cvs/cvsroot
- it creates also CVS/fileattr.xml in test1
Then I tried to use acl doing the following:
- modify /cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/config (SystemAuth=no, AclMode=normal)
- create /cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/admin adding cvs string
- cvs passwd -a -r cvs cvs
- cvs rchown cvs
- cvs rchacl -a read,write,create,tag,control -u cvs
- cd /appo
- mkdir test2
- cd test2
- cvs import -m "test2" test2 a2 b2
cvs [import aborted]: User cvs cannot create files in test2
Using 'strace cvs ..' I found following
........
access("/cvs/cvsroot/CVS/fileattr.xml", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
access("/cvs/cvsroot/CVS/fileattr", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
access("/cvs/cvsroot//.owner", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
access("/cvs/cvsroot//.perms", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
.......
Its behaviour is quite strange: it seems to check for fileattr.xml in
directory /cvs/cvsroot/CVS but this doesn't exist.
I have done other tests creating a new repository but the result is the
same. CVS directory I found exists only in module, when created, and in
CVSROOT not in $CVSROOT. At end I copied $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/CVS directory
under $CVSROOT and it seems to work.
What is wrong?
