The way CVS works, a user need read permission on a repository directory to read files in that directory (checkout, log, status, etc.) and write permission in a directory to write files in that directory (commit, tag, etc.). Your example is more complex that normal Unix permissions can support, but if SuSe Linux has Access Control Lists (ACLs), they should be sufficient to do whatever you want. Note that if you have read-only users, you have to use LockDir= in CVSROOT/config to put the lock files somewhere other than in the repository directories since read-only users still have to be able to create lock files. -Larry Jones I've got PLENTY of common sense!
