ACL Administrator

[Paola Attadio]

All,

I have CVS patched with CVSACL, It works perfectly, but I don't understand some things.

My CVS use pserver, for this reason I created passwd and group files in CVSROOT directory. Then, the ACL rules are based in cvs users and groups. I choose a cvs user as acl admin (acladmin), in others words, I execute the next sentence locally to the CVS server:
     $cvs racl  acladmin:p -r ALL -d ALL

After that, I set other permissions to the others cvs users and groups.

Everything works perfectly, the users use a WinCVS client and They just only make the operations that the ACL rules allow. But I don't understand the meaning of the acl admin, because a system user in the server makes changes in the rules without being an acl admin.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Paola
