cannot open /nonexistant/.cvsignore: Permission denied
Title: cannot open /nonexistant/.cvsignore: Permission denied Hello Colleagues, Its my second posting on the same issue. I am relatively new to CVS and I would really appreciate if somebody could help me to understand the root cause of the problem. I am using CVS version 1.11.17 for both client and server. My server is in Oregon. My client is in California. It runs on a PC under Windows XP using CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.13(0.122/4/2) 2005-03-01 11:01. CVS works fine for me. However, every time I do a check in I get an additional error message: cvs server: cannot open /nonexistant/.cvsignore: Permission denied Every time I do a cvs update it works but every directory has an additional error message: cvs update: cannot open /nonexistant/.cvsignore: Permission denied I looked into my directories. File .cvsignore is present everywhere. Its permissions are writable for me. As an experiment I focused on one directory and made .cvsignore file writable for everybody. It did not help. I searched and have not found any directory with nonexistant name. I searched Internet and your archives. This message was not found. I would really appreciate if anybody knows where these messages come from and why. Thank you in advance.

I searched Internet and your archives. This message was not found. Because of cygwin, you get a different message than is normally found. the canonical message is cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied If you or someone else feels up to it, the manual should probably be updated to include cvs server: cannot open /nonexistant/.cvsignore: Permission denied in all the places you find the above message. And here is some reading on the subject. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=%2Froot%2F.cvsignore+and+jonessubmit=Search%21idxname=info-cvsmax=20result=normalsort=score Also in: https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_21.html#SEC188 a little ways down we see: cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied See Trouble making a connection to a CVS server. - https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_21.html#SEC189 apparently then you probably haven't specified `-f' in `inetd.conf'. Hope this helps. I would really appreciate if anybody knows where these messages come from and why. Thank you in advance.
