We the reason(s) that we use a separate CVSROOT/passwd file are: - CVS users are an improper subset of UNIX users. - Some CVS userids are not UNIX users (role accounts). - user/group permissions aren't properly mananged here. Since CVSROOT/passwd has this format we have cvsadmin 'own' (almost) all archives in the repository. username:cryptpass:cvsadmin Since inetd is executing cvs as root (the parameter after 'nowait'); I suppose (though I have never tried) inted could run cvs cvsadmin to similar effect. > I thank you all for the support and patience . > > Thanks > Ibrahim > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.391 / Virus Database: 222 - Release Date: 9/19/2002 > > > > _______________________________________________ > Bug-cvs mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs > -- http://shaun.tancheff.com/ /?/ -_- / :-) shaun ;-] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Shaun Tancheff) .sigs freed _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
