I apologize if this has been asked before. I couldn't find an answer
to this in the search I did.
I have a CVS server with a LockDir set in the CVSROOT/config file.
How can I tell if it is actually using the alternate lock directory?
I just had an issue where my cvsuser account didn't have write
permissions in the repository directory, but appeared to have rights
in the LockDir path. We could update and checkout from that
directory. But, when we tried to commit, it said that it did not
have permissions to create the lock file. The path it gave was the
path for the repository directory, not the lock directory.
When I changed the permissions, I can now commit, but I suspect it is
putting the lock file into the repository directory.
I am somewhat new to CVS server setup and could use a willing soul to
help.
BTW, we are running the CVS server 1.10.8 on Linux-Mandrake 7.0 and
using WinCVS 1.1b13 on top of CVS 1.10.8 client and Windows NT 4.0
SP6.
Thanks,
Jeff
