I then su to cvs, do >a cvs init, and then manually reset the protections to -rw-rw-r--. What about the directory permissions? They should be group-rwx, group cvs and preferably setgid (so that directories created under them inherit the group ownership). The file permissions will revert to r--r--r-- but that doesn't matter: committing creates new files and unlinks the old. What's required is the write (and execute) permission to the *directories*. -- Pierre Asselin Westminster, Colorado -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
