Assumption 1: your repository is on a *nix system. Assumption 2: you are not using pserver with only one REAL user account. create unix groups (/etc/group) of users and set group write capability of directories to the correct group. Also make sure the directories are not world (other) writeable. see: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_2.html#SEC13 and as you are a new admin make sure you read at least http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_10.html#SEC83 and probably best to just start at the beginning and read most of http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs.html I like to have a local copy for fast access. http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/ http://ftp.cvshome.org/release/stable/cvs-1.11.14/cederqvist-1.11.14.html.tar.bz2 also search: http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs I believe some people may have been able to use ACLs in some types of file systems and others I believe have mentioned getting finer grained control using commitinfo scripts. Have you found your big stick yet?
