Hi guys,
could someone tell me what the permission for all files need to be set in CVSROOT dirrectory? I can't create new module under CVS and think that's a access/ownership problem.
CVS is like any other system. You need to have write access to a file to be able to write it.
CVS however writes to directories, so as long as you (the user) has write permission to the directory (CVSROOT) then you can mess with any file in it. If you don't have write permission to the directory then you're hosed.
You can use this to restrict access to CVS by chgrp'ing the repository, then doing something like chmod o-rwx; chmod -R g+w
Also check that you have write permission to where in the repository you're trying to put the new module -- it might be a write permission problem there rather than in the CVSROOT dir.
