Anyone any ideas about how to solve this? viewcvs/viewvc directly reads the repository... so it bypasses any of CVSNT's ACLs... > I read something about an apache module authenticating against > /etc/shadow.

The easiest thing that you can do right now is to set up viewvc so only certain parts (aka modules) of the repository are exposed... any finer granularity wrt access control isn't (easily) achievable. I believe that the next major release of cvsnt (i.e. evs) may do something more useful with regard to web-browsing of your repository. Greetings, David Somers typographer/programmer/whatever
