*My apologies if this is posted twice. Hi there,
I am relatively new to working with CVS. Someone else set up our CVS system in a way I don't really like. We have multiple cvs usernames, all pointing to one system user that has access to our entire repository. Recently we have hired a contractor - wanting to partition that users access, I set up a system group called: moddev I made our existing system user a member of this group so that existing permissions for full time developers can be maintained, I then did a change group on all the files and folders under the module. This all worked. Now I added a new system user call modcont (module contractor) and made it a member of the moddev group. I set up a new CVS user with the users username in the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file. Now when I try to checkout, I get "setgid failed: Operation not permitted". If I used WinCVS to connect, I get the same message when I try to login. The system is using pserver, and if I log in to the machine using the modcont system user, I can get in and it works fine. Any thoughts? Thanks! ________________________________ Save the Date: 2011 Customer Conference: Nov. 16-18; Disneyland Resort<http://bit.ly/hWBcrC> in Anaheim, CA.
