If you want to allow read-only access to a repository, you need to use LockDir= in CVSROOT/config to point to a separate lock directory (outside the repository) that everyone can write to (and you really should set the permissions on the history file to let everyone write to it, too, although you can make it append-only if your OS supports that concept). If the entire repository is really read-only and there's nothing you can do about it, the current development version of CVS has a -R global option to deal with it. -Larry Jones I think my cerebellum just fused. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
