Hi ,
I am facing the problem booth on client and server side.Please look below for
the errors I get.
> I have to start right away working on CVS

Seeing the exact error would have helped, even if you have put it in previous
emails.
That is, I don't know how to help with that error because I don't know what
that error is.
I AM MENTIONE ERROR BELOW

If you are using NIS/LDAP then all the clients have the same user names,
passwords and groups.
But you have not indicated that the systems are using NIS/LDAP or independent
user authentication/authorization configurations.
HERE USERS HAVE NIS AND EACH USER HAS AN INDEPENDANT USER AUTHENTICATION TO
ACCESS THE SYSTEMS IN NETWORK

Assuming gid 800 looks like:
sadiascvsgroup:x:800:sadia,user1,user2,user3,userN,tahseen
and sadia,user1,user2,user3,userN,tahseen are the only users you want to
access the cvs, then you are done configuring the group.
Then some appropriate commands {twisted from my last email}:
as root on the cvs_server:
edit /etc/group and add a group for your cvs work, i.e. add a line similar to
the one of the following:
users:x:100:sadia,user1,user2,user3
sadiascvsgroup:x:800:sadia,user1,user2,user3,userN
#if you choose to use users group,
# then substitute
# users where you see sadiascvsgroup below
chown sadia:sadiascvsgroup /appl/src/cvs/
Here sadia can be root on the server machine ?
and can sadia be root on client machines (for workstations)?
No!
then as sadia on cvs_server:
cd /appl/src/cvs/
mkdir JavaAppl
pwd #assumption it returns /appl/src/cvs/
export CVSROOT=/appl/src/cvs/JavaAppl
cvs init
mkdir JavaAppl/projectdir
chown :sadiascvsgroup JavaAppl/projectdir
chmod g+rws JavaAppl/projectdir
#you'll want to tighten up security on the following directory later.
chown :sadiascvsgroup JavaAppl/CVSROOT
chmod g+rws JavaAppl/CVSROOT
ERROR:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] chmod g+rws JavaAppl/CVSROOT
chmod: changing permissions of `JavaAppl/CVSROOT': Operation not permitted
then as sadia on a_workstation:
export CVSROOT=:ext:cvs_server:/appl/src/cvs/JavaAppl
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs checkout projectdir
date > projectdir/mydate
cvs add projectdir/mydate
cvs commit -m"a comment" projectdir/mydate
ERRORS:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cvs checkout projectdir
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
? projectdir/mydate
cvs checkout: Updating projectdir
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cvs add projectdir/mydate
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
cvs add: in directory .:
cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cvs commit -m "a comment" projectdir/mydate
cvs commit: use `cvs add' to create an entry for projectdir/mydate
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
I look forward for you help!
Thank you
Sadia
