How do I make my directories set gid (group ID?)? What I have been doing is:
chgrp -R users cvs
and
chmod -R 770 cvs
Are you refering to another way to do this?
Thanks,
Tony

CVS is creating a new file, then moving it over the old file. It's a
slightly safer way of making changes. Make all of your directories in
the repository set gid.
If this is still a problem, I suggest a script be triggered on checkin
that chowns/chmods the files being modified. Shouldn't be too hard and a
good learning experience. (The solution to this problem is "trivial" and
left to the reader as an exercise because the author is too lazy to do
it himself.)
