I have been trying to create anonymous user access to our CVS repository. I have performed the following:
1) in the /etc/passwd file on the server, I have added the following line: cvsanon:!:705:30:Anonymous CVS USer:/u02/cvs:/bin/false where 30 is the group "cvsadmin" which is the owning group of the cvs repository. 2) in CVSROOT/passwd, I added: annonymous::cvsanon 3) I then created a new file CVSROOT/readers and added the line: anonymous However, now when I try to perform a checkout as this "anonymous" user, cvs is unable to lock CERTAIN directories. For example, It was able to check out code from a directory .../models, but not from .../models/handlers even though ownership and permissions are exactly the same on both directories. I searched the mailing list archives for this issue, but most assumed this was a file-system level write-permission issue. I don't see how this can be a problem with the file system permissions iin this scenario (the repository "/u02/cvs" and all of its subdirectories are owned by the user cvsadmin who is a member of the same cvsadmin group to which the cvsanon user belongs. Has anyone run into this error before? What is the solution? _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
