env | grep CVSREAD produces no output. checkout on the server is now read-write. checkout on server (logged in as non-root user), read-write.
on pc workstations, files are still readonly. same user on linux that got read-write gets read only files on a pc. on macintosh, readonly. readonly shmeadonly. so, everyone but the server machine gets files read-only. why? is this fixable?

Were these last tests local, on the server machine, or client/server? If the latter, try the former. One step at a time... Did you check that CVSREAD is *really* undefined? env | grep CVSREAD should produce no output. Also, check your umask. (Long shot here; you'd likely already have noticed if it was too restrictive.) > People have been using wincvs 1.0.6. does this add unremoveable watches or > locks? is there a way to unwatch/unlock the entire repository from cvs > admin? Unknown; I've never used watches, and rarely used WinCVS. But that's an old version, isn't it? Try upgrading. > I have a hunch that the cvs import problem is related. cvs imports do not > add modules to the modules file. Is there an admin file missing or > something? Nope, this is (a) totally unrelated, and (b) not a problem. Imports aren't *supposed* to change the modules file. > cvs version 1.11. Try upgrading that too, on both client and server. -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
