[cvsacl-users] Problem using SSH with CVSACL patch 1.2.1

[Pradeep K. U. <pr...@ro...>]

Hi All

First of all thanks to the developers of the CVSACL patch for CVS. It's a
very nice feature to have in a system like CVS.

I am facing a problem after applying this patch. I am using MacCVS Pro
3.0a3(Carbon) for accessing the repository from Mac.

I was using a Mac OS X 10.3 server before for my CVS requirements. Before
applying the patch I used cvs v1.10 that comes bundled by default with the
OS. I had a couple of system users who are also the CVS repository users on
that server machine. All the users used the MacCVS Pro for connecting to the
repository using SSH in the Settings panel of the client application. Each
user used their corresponding system user account information for accessing
the repository. There was no 'passwd' file in the CVSROOT folder before.
Everything worked fine except for the access control.

Then we setup another Mac OS X server and applied the patch to check it out.
I created a set of system users and granted them CVS access. Everything
works fine from the WinCVS client now but not from MacCVS Pro. When I use
the same settings as before (with the previous server) I get an error "The
checkout could not be completed because an error -116 occurred." when I try
to checkout the module.

Any ideas why this happens? Apologies if this is a newbie question, but any
help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Pradeep
