I have written scripts which the users use rather calling the cvs commands directly. The scripts call exes with the SUID bit set to perform file permission setting. That way the users only get access through the scripts I control. A checkin script for instance can unlock the file with the restricted admin uid before performing the cvs update command command and re-locking the permission the file again with the restricted admin uid. On Tru64 (Alpha UNIX) the SUID on works on exes, shells don't work - so the outer shell has to call exes to perform the restricted operations such as locking/unlocking files. Hope that is of use. ******************************************************************** This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.
