We recently had a suite support customer do this, and I realised that if you are logged in as Administrator (default user XP) this is extremely easy to do. I'm going through all our GUI's at the moment (like WM, SCCI and even TCVS/WinCVS) modifying them so that it's impossible to use a GUI to import or add a directory to the Repository Administration Files Module (CVSROOT). My question is: should CVSNT command line client also prevent import and add <directory> to the Repository Administration Files Module (CVSROOT)? BTW: I absolutely detest the 'name' CVSROOT. There at least 3 things called CVSROOT and so as a name it is useless (it fails to inform or identify)... I'm trying to propagate some new terms: * CVSROOT - Repository Administration Files Module * $CVSROOT - CVSNT Client Connection String * CVS/Root - Workspace/Sandbox Connection String Regards, Arthur
