I am trying to restrict access to the modules inside the repository using the group/other mode permissions.The CVS Server is on a Linux machine and the client is TortoiseCVS/WinCVS. We have a pserver authentication set up. All the users log in with their own username/passwd but use a common system username. At present the umask value of the default user is 0002. I am trying to make this 0007. I tried using the CVSUMASK environment variable by declaring it in the profile file of the system username. This didnt work. I also tried with umask command. Even this failed. I always have my modules and the directories inside it created with 775 mode. Initially I thought I was erring with the way I was setting umask but then I logged in as the system username and created directories/files, which worked fine. Is there something that I am missing, or is it that CVSUMASK nor umask works in this scenario.
