Re: cvs admin

[Corey Minyard]

You can get the newest patch (and info on this) at 
http://home.attbi.com/~minyard, it has the information about the 
permissions features merged into the standard documentation.  You can 
look at the diff file for the documentation differences.

The answer to your question is you have to be an administrator to run 
the admin command (your user has to be in CVSROOT/admin).  That's 
actually not a very good strategy, the cvs admin command contains a 
plethora of unrelated operations, some of them administrative and some 
not.  I'll probably fix this in my next release, unless the cvs-nserver 
guys beat me to it.

BTW, you really need to upgrade to the perm13 version.
