RE: permission problem - cannot checkout

[Roni Abusch]

Thanks Markus, but I have a problem with that - that means that everyone can
go stright to the reporitory and delete projects\files (even accidentaly).
Is there a way that everyone will be able to use CVS and it's projects,
without having permissions to the repository?
Roni.

Roni,

I'm not a cvs guru, but here is how we got things going:

the repository needs to be group writable for a group that all users,
that want to access the cvs, belong to.

If all users are in the group "developers", then all files and
directorys must belong to this group. Directories must be rwx for
group, too (usually drwxrwxr-x).
