A not-so-CVS question

Hi, CVS folks. My question is not strictly related to CVS itself, but I think this list is the right place to ask. I've set up ViewCVS for my team, but then everyone on our LAN gets read access to the repository through it, which is not desired. So is there any tool or mechanism that's able to

Looks like cvs doesn't have permission to write into the /tmp directory on the cvs server. You have three choices: a) Fix the permission problem under /tmp on the cvs server b) Tell cvs to use a different directory via the -T command line option on the server startup vie inetd. c) Recompile

Thank you for your response. It would appear for anyone who truly needs multiple repositories kept in sync, that CVS is an unacceptable tool. This is most unfortunate. Our remote developers often cannot even get access to the internet. In spite of the optimism of another response, their

Not to rub it in or anything... it also seems that a pre-requisite to providing access to remote developers to a CVS repository would be having some kind of network connection. Without that, what's the point? How are you going to get the data across between multiple sites if you dont't even
