Hello, I've got a CVS repository on a UNIX file server which is accessible from Windows workstations using Windows shares, in this particular case "\\grobi\ifgi\projects\fas\CVSREP". I.e., the clients see the CVS as part of the "local" file system.
We access the repository from WinCVS 1.2 /1.3beta clients either via the GUI, or via command prompt, or via JBuilder (Java Development IDE) using the cvs.exe provided with WinCVS. On the Unix file server, permissions are set to r--r--r-- and the committer takes ownership whenever somebody puts (commits) a file into the repository. While this allows anybody to update their local copies, it prevents them (except the owner) to commit a new version. This makes CVS pretty much non-concurrent. I'm not very familiar with UNIX, so I do not understand why the file permission is made so restrictive, and how UNIX CVS clients would deal with the situation (i.e. change the permissions such as to be able to edit the repository).
