I would like to checkout the passwd file together with the administrative files (despite the advice against it). I am setting up a CVS server and it would be nice to have (at least in the first times) this kind of access to the passwd file.
Then I put passwd in checkoutlist but it doesn't get it. It says: cvs commit: Examining . Checking in checkoutlist; /usr/local/cvs/CVSROOT/checkoutlist,v <-- checkoutlist new revision: 1.6; previous revision: 1.5 done cvs server: Rebuilding administrative file database cvs server: Can't checkout 'passwd' file. By the way, "Can't checkout 'passwd' file." is the message I've added to checkoutlist according to the instructions. What am I doing wrong? There has been some change in the CVS which turned the advice into a no, no! just like root cannot commit files? Thanks for any advice on this.
