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?

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 _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt@cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt Upgrade to CVS Suite for more features and support: http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/ ********************************************************** MLB.com: Where Baseball is Always On _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt@cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt Upgrade to CVS Suite for more features and support: http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/
