Terry,

Are you sure that the "cannot open CVS/Entries for reading" message is
due to an ACL control issue, and not something with where you're trying
to check out your files?

Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Is it possible to completely lock down HEAD,but
leave a BRANCH open for READ ONLY access?

First, I apologize for the confusion, mainly mine.

Second, I reset my AclMode to normal and then started fresh with new
ACL's as follows, but am still unable to checkout code from the
TEST_BRANCH as a "guest" user.

<acl branch="HEAD" user="internal">
   <all />
</acl>

<acl branch="TEST_BRANCH">
   <read />
</acl>

>From my understanding, these ACLs should translate to the following
access privileges:

All users who are a member of the internal group should have full access
on HEAD and a "guest" user (who is listed in the readers file, but is
NOT a member of the internal group) should be able to checkout code from
the TEST_BRANCH, but not from HEAD.

The problem is that the "guest" user is still unable to checkout code
from the TEST_BRANCH due to the following error:

cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or
directory

Again, I apologize for my confusion Arthur, but what seems to be such a
simple configuration is kicking my butt and it's very frustrating.

Thanks again for your patience and support,

Terry
