Re: Secure a sub-directory in a subdirectory ...

Larry,

The error message I got was

cvs [commit aborted]: could not open lock file '..../,foo.txt,': Permission
denied

If I chmod g+w $CVSROOT/dir, the problem goes away. So it looks to me that
the lock for commit is always placed in $CVSROOT regardless what LockDir is
set to.

If that's the case, what's use of LockDir?
