This is a design feature, intended to increase the accountability of changes. Since "root" is often a shared account (it's a functional account rather than a personal one), allowing it to check in would make it impossible to determine who checked a change in. (It isn't quite this simple; if CVS is able to determine who "root" really is, CVS may allow the checkin.) > when i am logging as a user i am unable to checkout the files. It says permission denied . > That would mean that your user account does not have the permissions necessary. Your account must have read permission on all files and directories you are going to use, execute permission on all directories, and normally write permission on all directories. (It is possible to get around this, for read-only access, by setting LockDir in CVSROOT/config.) -- Now building a CVS reference site at http://www.thornleyware.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
