Maybe someone can help me with something I've been trying to figure
out in spare moments...
We use Samba as a fileserver, and the way it's set up is that all the
users are members of the same group. File creation mode is set to 775
(group writeable) so we can edit files that someone else created.
The problem seems to be that when VSS checks something out, it tries
to make it readonly, but then Samba forces it to be group writeable..
and suddenly everyone else can edit your checked out files... combine
this with the fact that (as someone mentioned) there's no way of
telling which files someone else has checked out.. and suddenly VSS is
no use whatsoever and has no advantages over us shouting round the
office "has anyone got that file open?" :)
I'd be interested to hear how other people deal with this... and I'm
happy to radically rethink the way our fileserver works if it makes
source control easier.
If anyone thinks this is getting a little TOO off-topic.. we could
move to CF-Linux list or take it off the lists altogether?
