CVS forgets directories

[Carsten Friedrich]

Hi,

I have the following problem: I have a repository with some
subdirectories.
The subdirectories are not empty. When I do a cvs co for the project,
all files and subdirectories and files get checked out correctly. If I
do a cvs update however (even immediately after the checkout) cvs
reports all directories as unknown (commandline, WinCVS, and PCL-CVS).
If I try to add the directories, cvs complains that they are already in
the repository (which is correct). In addition, WinCVS always thinks
that all files are modified. I have other projects in my repository
which work fine; it is just the one that misbehaves. The only thing I
can think of that is different with this project is that it contains
potentially problematic filenames. Ie filename with spaces and
characters like '%', '@', etc. The problems are not limited to these
files however. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Carsten

CVSROOT write permission vulnerability

[Bibhas Kumar Samanta]

Hi,

I have a simple query.
We have Solaris/unix network with NIS .
and we use /net/machine_name/system/CvsRoot as our CVSROOT 
which is accessible from all machines.

As CVSROOT requires write permission, it has 777 permission for
all.
But this essentially empower each user  to delete the whole
CVSROOT , may be even mistakenly ie 
cd /net/machine_name/system/CvsRoot;\rm -rf *

How can I avoid that . or do I have any mechanism to log
who is accessing the CVSROOT area.

Or what is the common CVSROOT structure/access mechanism
is used by you .


Thanks,
Bibhas
