Thanks Larry, but I am having problems
getting Read-Only access in CVS using
pserver.
I created user called 'rohit' in system
and created respective entry in the
CVSROOT/passed & CVSROOT/readers. There
is no CVSROOT/writers file. Here are
the entries:
CVSROOT/readers:
- readroh
CVSROOT/passwd:
- rohit::readroh
Note:
rohit = Linux System User
readroh = CVS user
CVSROOT/config:
LockDir=/usr/local/cvslocks
(full permissions set to world)
Is there any special way for creating
CVS user? Or just adding the entry in
the passwd file enough without having
to create another system user called
'readroh'?
When I checkout files after executing
'cvs login', I get all the files wiht
rwx permissions. I can edit the files
and commit them too, which should not
be happening.
The repository directory permissions
are:
Owner: rwx
Group: g+s (group owned)
Others: rx
How come the whole thing is failing?
Regards,
Rohit Peyyeti

| Set the permissions on the repository directories so that read-only
| users have read permission but not write permission. Read/write users
| should have both read and write permission. (Note that only directory
| permissions are important, not file permissions.) You'll also have to
| set LockDir= in your CVSROOT/config file to put the lock files somewhere
| other than in the repository since read-only users still need to be able
| to create lock files.

| CVSREAD does *not* put CVS in read-only mode -- it just set the
| permissions on checked out files to read-only to prevent *accidental*
| modifications.
