Hi! The main problem here is that you have to define group permissions to the repository before it can be accessed. Also, if you plan to use the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file then you need to uncomment SystemAuth=No line in the config file in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/ folder. Only then can you use the passwd file, else you will have to use the system passwords for logging in.
Read the Cederqvist Manual for better details. Also you can visit the FAQs created by Oliver at http://people.freenet.de/ogiesen/newfaq.htm, if the location has not been changed by him. Or the CVS FAQs at the http://www.cvshome.org site. http://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom/cache/1.html Gagneet |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf |Of kent emia |Sent: Thursday, 23 October, 2003 9:40 AM |To: info-CVS |Subject: setting up project restrictions | | | |i tried to create a 'project' restriction in oiur server | |i created user in /etc/passwd | | proj:x:600:600:projects:/repo/projects:/bin/false | |and in /etc/group | | proj:x:600:proj | |and in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd | |kent:wAdlU792laAcxtgu:proj | |but as i tried to 'cvs co projects' |it returned an error 'Cannot access /repo/CVSROOT' | |but if i will remove all of the changes in /etc/group and |/etc/passwd everything is fine... | |am i missing something here.... i am currently following |instructions from the book |Open Source Developement with CVS by karl fogel, moshe bar | | | | |-- |kent emia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | |_______________________________________________ |Info-cvs mailing list |[EMAIL PROTECTED] |http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs | _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
