The CVS server seems to be using some sort of CVS access control, i.e. by a CVSROOT/readers or CVSROOT/writers file or something similar. I am not sure of all the gory details about your particular setup, but the message seems to imply that `mgrant' is blocked by the access controls of the server itself. Do you have a CVSROOT/readers or CVSROOT/writers in /home/ng/tools/cvsroot/CVSROOT/ on the CVS server? If yes, what do they contain? Please take care of masking any sensitive data (like user passwords), if you sent their contents!!! _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
