Re: how to implement user level security in cvs ?

[Muhammad Shakeel]

Dear Noel yap,
AOA

Sorry i am asking a question related to little older thread in mailing list.
I implemeted ACL on directory level as was suggested, and do not implemented
on files. But what is reason that it is not recomended ? If a user  have
a permission on folder but not on a file then he cannot checkout the code.

Can u please also recall to tell me what is required to do in loginfo file
in this case ?


Regards,
shakeel
