OK, I've installed cvs:
# cvs -v Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server) I created a repository while I was root (I know, bad) and, as root, I do not have problems - doh! Starting to use it as a mortal user, I'm having problems with directory/file permissions and I cannot find my issues in man cvs, info cvs nor a cursory search via google. Should I have overlooked a good faq list, please point me to it ;> What group, mode and owner be for the special files in $CVSROOR/CVSROOT? I kept seeing "cannot write to history file", until I changed history to 666 ;< Of course, my user is a member of group staff. I am also having problems understanding required group, mode and owner permissions for directories under modules? What are the preferred methods for dealing with these issues? # ls -al ./CVSROOT/ total 152 drwxrwsr-x 3 root staff 4096 Jul 16 11:33 . -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 493 Jul 15 21:00 .#checkoutlist -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 760 Jul 15 21:00 .#commitinfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 527 Jul 15 21:00 .#config -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 753 Jul 15 21:00 .#cvswrappers -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1025 Jul 15 21:00 .#editinfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1141 Jul 15 21:00 .#loginfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1151 Jul 15 21:00 .#modules -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 564 Jul 15 21:00 .#notify -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 649 Jul 15 21:00 .#rcsinfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 879 Jul 15 21:00 .#taginfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1026 Jul 15 21:00 .#verifymsg drwxrwsr-x 4 root staff 4096 Jul 16 10:06 .. drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 Jul 15 21:00 Emptydir -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 493 Jul 16 11:33 checkoutlist -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 692 Jul 15 21:00 checkoutlist,v -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 760 Jul 16 11:33 commitinfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 959 Jul 15 21:00 commitinfo,v -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 529 Jul 16 11:33 config -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 956 Jul 16 11:33 config,v -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 753 Jul 16 11:33 cvswrappers -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 952 Jul 15 21:00 cvswrappers,v -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1025 Jul 16 11:33 editinfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1224 Jul 15 21:00 editinfo,v -rw-rw-rw- 1 root staff 2425 Jul 16 11:49 history -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1141 Jul 16 11:33 loginfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1340 Jul 15 21:00 loginfo,v -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1151 Jul 16 11:33 modules -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1350 Jul 15 21:00 modules,v -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 564 Jul 16 11:33 notify -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 763 Jul 15 21:00 notify,v -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 649 Jul 16 11:33 rcsinfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 848 Jul 15 21:00 rcsinfo,v -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 879 Jul 16 11:33 taginfo -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1078 Jul 15 21:00 taginfo,v -rw-rw-r-- 1 root staff 22 Jul 16 10:32 val-tags -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1026 Jul 16 11:33 verifymsg -r--r--r-- 1 root staff 1225 Jul 15 21:00 verifymsg,v -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
