Luca,
I think you should use the set-group-id bit for the group, and the group
of the directory to be set to the cvs group:
chgrp -R cvs /export/home/ntop/
find /export/home/ntop/ -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
Your final permissions should look like:
drwxr-sr-x root cvs /export/home/ntop/
Or with write access for the cvs group, if you allow others to upload
files directly into cvs.
Make sure it appears as a lowercase "s" and not uppercase. Uppercase
means that the cvs group does not have the execute bit set on the
directory (cannot look at its contents... big problem for CVS checkouts).
Do not use the command
chmod -R g+s /export/home/ntop/
because that will also modify permissions for the files, in addition to
the directories.
this will grant group-suid-execute permissions to those files (if they
are executable), and I don't think you want to allow that.
I think you only want directory permissions here.
This will force any newly created directories and files to have
permissions as being accessible by the cvs group, and the newly created
directories will also inherit the "s" bit.
Adi.

Fixed.
Do you know how to configure the CVS so that everytime I add a new
directory I don't have to set permissions manually?
Thanks, Luca
