Re: CVS help needed urgently!

[Todd Denniston]

Sadia,
Please _ALWAYS_ at least CC the mailing list.
I suspect English is not your first language and have been trying to work with 
it, but there is something you could do to make reading (and understanding) 
your posts a little easier:
that is when ever you feel the need to insert a period (full stop) please also 
insert a newline, i.e., hit return/enter.
(I will be breaking the lines up below so I can read them.)

Also are you subscribed[1] to the mailing list? I may have only sent my last 
reply to the list.  That happens from time to time[2].

Seeing the exact error would have helped, even if you have put it in previous 
emails.
That is, I don't know how to help with that error because I don't know what 
that error is.

If you are using NIS/LDAP then all the clients have the same user names, 
passwords and groups.
But you have not indicated that the systems are using NIS/LDAP or independent 
user authentication/authorization configurations.

Assuming gid 800 looks like:
sadiascvsgroup:x:800:sadia,user1,user2,user3,userN,tahseen
and sadia,user1,user2,user3,userN,tahseen are the only users you want to 
access the cvs, then you are done configuring the group.

BTW, Sorry, No more answers to direct emails.
Only to ones that are sent to the address@hidden list.
