Hello, In my setup I had created a user called "cvsnt" this automatically created a group called "cvsnt". I then and gave the cvsnt [object] administrative permissions on my cvsroot (ie: read,write,create,tag,control) and I assume that these permissions cascaded down through the modules in the root. I then create a user called 'mike' and made him a member of the CVSNT group. Prior to adding him to the group he wasn't able to even read the cvsroot, after adding him he was able to do everything on every module, even the CVSROOT. After removing him from the "cvsnt" group he again was not able to do anything. This tells me that cvsnt matched his access on the group permission. ~Rodre >From: Tony Hoyle <tony.hoyle at march-hare.com> >To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook >Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Linux ACLs >Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 09:15:14 +0100 > >Rodre Ghorashi-Zadeh wrote: > > I have figured out the problem.
