Hi all, I'm new to CVS and also to this list so if this is a really obvious question that's answered in a FAQ somewhere can someone let me know where the FAQ is :) We've got CVS installed and working fine on a Linux server and we have clients (WinCVS) on NT machines. The problem we have is that we have to manually do a chgrp on all new directories/files added to a repository. If we don't do this, only the person who added the files in that directory can edit files located in that directory. the error we get is permission denied. After doing a chgrp on the repository to a group the users belong to everything works fine. Am I missing some obvious configuration setting to tell CVS which group name to use when creating files/directories in the repository. current setup: - CVS server using pserver authentication on the Linux machine (standard /etc/passwd entries) version 1.11 downloaded, not built locally. - clients are WinCVS version 1.0.6 and the only cvs version option it has is 1.10. I assume there were no big protocol changes between 1.10 and 1.11 :) - clients have a CVSROOT like this username@LinuxHost:/home/cvsroot (The :pserver: bit gets added by WinCVS as it makes the connection) - inetd.conf entry is: 2401 stream tcp nowait /usr/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/home/cvsroot pserver After importing/adding a file its permissions are as expected -r--r--r-- directory permissions are drwxrwxr--. The username *and* group name are those of the person who imported/added the files/directories. I would have expected the group name to be an actual group name rather than the username. Any help would be appreciated as its a little tedious to do these chgrp's Regards, Sam Joyce. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
