Hi Phil,
I'm not sure if you've done this yet or not, but you probably want to
set the config file in your CVSROOT directory's ACLMODE to "Normal".
This will default deny all users. The default "Compatible" mode is
default allow everything.
You can also turn on server trace and use -ttt from the client to see
some of the ACL logic as it loads up the groups and compares to the
directories.

Yes, that's correct. You'll see a checked out copy of it in your
CVSROOT directory within your repository if it is working properly
("group" as well as "group,v").
