Hi, I'm getting the same problem as was reported in this old post after creating a new repository but I'm unclear how to resolve it. Is it the Windows security or the CVS security that I need to alter to give me access? I have added my user id to the Windows administrator group but that didn't seem to make any difference. So I'm guessing it must be the CVS ACL stuff I need to change, however I seem to be in a chicken/egg situation as to use the chacl command it seems I need to have cvsroot already checked out, but I can't checkout as I don't have access. Any help will be appreciated.
