Hi all,
I'm all confused by permissions in the repository. First my problem: I set up a repository on my linux box, and have people accessing it with the pserver method (all folks accessing the server have accounts on the box). All was fine and dandy, until recently, when one of the remote users added a directory to the project (using WinCVS, if that is relevant). It seemed to work on his end, but none of the other users got the new directory with an update. When I add a directory from a user account on the same box running the CVS server, it is seen by everyone. I took a look at the directory hierarchy, and noticed that each file was owned by the user or added (or last updated?) it. I'm imagining that that is the source of the problem. So my questions are: How do I set this up so it works? (obviously the big question) Why is CVS designed this way? I would expect that all the files put in the repository by cvs would have the ownership and permissions set by cvs, and so all be the same (the same as the user running cvs--root?) I did follow suggestions in the docs, and create a cvs group, and add all the users that access cvs to that group, but the files (and new directories) get created with primary group of the creater (users), rather than group cvs. I have run Linux as a workstation for years, but have been the only user on the system, so I have never had to deal with this kind of thing... I'm pretty clueless. thanks, -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- --- --- http://members.home.net/barkerlohmann ---@@ -----@@ -----@@ ------@@@ ------@@@ ------@@@ Oil Spill Modeling ------ @ ------ @ ------ @ Water Resources Engineering ------- --------- -------- Coastal and Fluvial Hydrodynamics -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
