OK, I've installed cvs:
# cvs -v
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)
I created a repository while I was root (I know, bad) and, as root, I do
not have problems - doh!
Starting to use it as a mortal user, I'm having problems with
directory/file permissions and I cannot find my issues in man cvs, info
cvs nor a cursory search via google.
Should I have overlooked a good faq list, please point me to it ;>
What group, mode and owner be for the special files in $CVSROOR/CVSROOT?
I kept seeing "cannot write to history file", until I changed history to
666 ;< Of course, my user is a member of group staff.
I am also having problems understanding required group, mode and owner
permissions for directories under modules?
What are the preferred methods for dealing with these issues?
# ls -al ./CVSROOT/
