Set up the repository so that all repository users have read/write rights (possibly restrict CVSROOT to admins, but CVSNT already handles that). Then work with (r)chacl /only/ -- no fiddling with the NTFS permissions. In general, there is nothing that you have to do directly with the ",v" files in the repository -- unless it's one of the very few exceptions, you're an admin and know what you're doing. Not even normal repository admin work requires you to work inside the repository. Work in a sandbox. Gerhard
