Larry: rohit = system user readroh = cvs user
I changed $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file. This is how it has right now: $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd : readroh::rohit $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/readers : readroh In .bash_profile : CVSROOT=":pserver:rohit@server:/usr/local/cvs-rep" As usuall, I am logging to CVS by saying: 'cvs login' and enter by password. Then I say cvs checkout 'cvs checkout CVSROOT'. All the CVSROOT files come in read+write mode. ...Rohit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 8:15 AM Subject: Re: CVS setup help > Rohit Peyyeti writes: > > > > Thanks Larry, but I am having problems > > getting Read-Only access in CVS using > > pserver. > > > > I created user called 'rohit' in system > > and created respective entry in the > > CVSROOT/passed & CVSROOT/readers.
