CVS manages pserver and sserver users in the file CVSROOT/passwd, but this file is itself maintained via the CVS command cvs passwd (look it up in the help). >The problem is when I use `cvs admin -m' to modify a >log message, I got the error message: > >cvs [server aborted]: usage is restricted to repository administrators > >Have I done anything wrong, Yes, you have used pserver instead of SSPI on a local WinXP machine. SSPI is much simpler to use than pserver... >or is it a bug? No, it's your usage. To make a user an admin of CVS you have to add him to the CVSROOT/admin file (just list his login username on a line in this file). The file does not exist by default so you have to create it. And it should NOT be added to the CVSROOT/checkoutlist file either! HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
