RE: setting up project restrictions

[Gagneet Singh]

Hi!

The main problem here is that you have to define group permissions to
the repository before it can be accessed. Also, if you plan to use the
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file then you need to uncomment SystemAuth=No
line in the config file in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/ folder. Only then can you
use the passwd file, else you will have to use the system passwords for
logging in.

Read the Cederqvist Manual for better details.

Also you can visit the FAQs created by Oliver at
http://people.freenet.de/ogiesen/newfaq.htm, if the location has not
been changed by him. Or the CVS FAQs at the http://www.cvshome.org site.

|
|
|
|i tried to create a 'project' restriction in oiur server
|
|i created user in /etc/passwd
|
|      proj:x:600:600:projects:/repo/projects:/bin/false
|
|and in /etc/group
|
|      proj:x:600:proj
|
|and in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd
|
|kent:wAdlU792laAcxtgu:proj
|
|but as i tried to 'cvs co projects'
|it returned an error 'Cannot access /repo/CVSROOT'
|
|but if i will remove all of the changes in /etc/group and 
|/etc/passwd everything is fine...
|
|am i missing something here.... i am currently following 
|instructions from the book
