RE: Readonly

[vvor]

Thank you for responding!

I checked env on the server. CVSREAD was defined.

I commented it out, logged out, logged in (as root). Then I tried a
checkout: all files are still read-only. I tried cvs -w co module. Still
read-only.

People have been using wincvs 1.0.6. does this add unremoveable watches or
locks? is there a way to unwatch/unlock the entire repository from cvs
admin?

I have a hunch that the cvs import problem is related. cvs imports do not
add modules to the modules file. Is there an admin file missing or
something? cvs version 1.11.

This looks like your problem.  If CVSREAD is *defined*, that's
enough to put CVS into read-only mode.  Its value is completely
ignored.  From src/main.c:
    if (getenv (CVSREAD_ENV) != NULL)
        cvswrite = 0;
