The short answer is that a user needs write permission on a directory to modify any of the files in that directory and needs read permission on a directory to access the files without changing them (checkout, status, etc.). Users do need read permission on the files themselves, but do should never have write permission. Users also have to be able to create lock files, so if you're going to have read-only users, you can't keep the lock files inside the repository; you can use LockDir= in CVSROOT/config to put them elsewhere. -Larry Jones Let's pretend I already feel terrible about it, and that you don't need to rub it in any more. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
