Greetings, We use CVSNT 2.5.03 (build 2260) on our repository via SSPI protocol (to enable domain authentication) and met an issue with watchers feature. If we perform checkout or update locally, then all the "watched on" files are retrieved read-only as expected. But if checkout or update is performed via :sspi: authentication then "watching" is ignored and files are retrieved writeable anyway. Example: > cvs :sspi:server:/repository watch off somefile.txt OK: 'somefile.txt' is not watched now > del somefile.txt > cvs -d C:\repository update somefile.txt OK: 'somefile.txt' is retrieved writeable > del somefile.txt > cvs :sspi:server:/repository update somefile.txt OK: 'somefile.txt' is retrieved writeable > cvs :sspi:server:/repository watch on somefile.txt OK: 'somefile.txt' is watched now > del somefile.txt > cvs -d C:\repository update somefile.txt OK: 'somefile.txt' is retrieved read-only > del somefile.txt > cvs :sspi:server:/repository update somefile.txt ERROR: 'somefile.txt' is retrieved writeable Both server and clients are Windows. Issue is reproducable with both TortoiseCVS (1.8.26) and WinCvs (2.0.3.1) even the WinCvs "files attribute" global option is set to "read-only". Could anybody help us with the problem? I did not find any reports regarding this at Bugzilla. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Best regards, Artem
