No, I did not know this. Some searching seems to indicate this is the 
general opinion so we will remove the NFS part.

Yes, a typo.

Yes.

Good idea but it only turned up the expected differences, e.g. logs for 
the old repository compared to the new and fresh one. A cvswrapper file 
had not been copied yet.

We have backupped the old repository now and will install a fresh RH9 
and start all over. The main problem we want to solve is how to limit 
access for different groups to the modules on the save CVS server. E.g. 
we have the groups "ace", "swe", "sof" and "dev" and these cases:

ace have their own modules
swe have their own modules
sof have their own modules
dev have their own modules

swe and dev shares some modules
ace and dev shares some modules

Our idea was to setup user access rights and the following structure

/data/cvsrep/CVSROOT
/data/cvsrep/ace
/data/cvsrep/dev
/data/cvsrep/sof
/data/cvsrep/swe
/data/cvsrep/swedev
/data/cvsrep/acedev

However, now it doesn't seem to be doable. Or is it?

Thank you for your help.

best regards,
Lars
