Gromer, > Referring to the FAQ.. OK - you are clearly misunderstanding an awful lot about how CVS works. Start at the beginning - have you ever used CVS before? Have you purchased a book to help you learn how to checkout and checkin? You cannot set up permissions until you understand the basics. > administrator at akonix /cygdrive/h/product_1 Problem #1 - do not install or use Cygwin, it's not needed and will confuse you. Uninstall it now. > $ cvs chacl -R -r HEAD -a noread,nowrite,notag, nocreate,nocontrol > cvs chacl: in directory .: > cvs [chacl aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first Problem #2 - error messages mean something - read them and modify your behaviour or stop and ask for help. > $ cvs co CVSROOT/ > cvs checkout: ignoring CVSROOT (CVS/Repository missing) > cvs checkout: in directory CVSROOT: > cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory > /* snipped */ Combined problems #1 and #2. You wouldn't be asking how to lock the HEAD/Branch unless you have been using CVS for a while, but your responses show a lack of understanding as to how CVS actually works - so how do you usually use CVS - what tools do you use etc? Telling us what you already know will probably help us get you started at the right point. Where is your server installed? Where is your client? Do you know what your $CVSROOT is?
