Being rude on a public mailing list is inappropriate. Please be
constructive and stick
to technical arguments if needed.
Here you don't want to set a default ACL on the root. That is the whole
point. If a user wants to
control what modules can be added on a cvsroot ahead of time (prior to
import) how can that
be done with whacl ? If you are going to suggest allow write access on
root, that is what the
WANdisco based solution tried to avoid.
By the way is "whacl" a hidden cvsnt command ? I don't see it via the
latest cvsnt help ? Nor can I google
on wchacl. Is this not available in the open source code base ? I was
only aware of chacl and rchacl.

Hello! what's wrong with telling CVSNT users about other options in a
very specific context.
Best practices for CVSNT need not be limited to what March-Hare wants to
advertise.
You can see posts from Arthur on CVS and other groups mentioning CVSNT
when appropriate.
This is in the same spirit.
So please don't get worked up so easily, stay constructive.
Thank you
