RE: Is it possible to hide modules in CVS

Harkirat,

Please keep the discussion on the newsgroup - not to me directly.

> I tried the chacl route 

In that case you are using CVSNT and you should direct your questions to the 
CVSNT newsgroup:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

There was some talk of adding a "hidden" attribute...

That is different again.

Post a message to the CVSNT newsgroup with a subject like "How to for users to 
use ampersand module not real module" and the problem definition and hopefully 
someone will have an idea - if not you or someone will have to volunteer to 
code it.

The "simplest" (though inelegant) method would be to write a script in the 
precommand trigger that "looks" for the "invalid" names and causes the 
precommand trigger to fail.
