[cvsacl-users] Setting permissions

[Stefan <cur...@gm...>]

Hey All,

Could someone please help me understand how to configure the
permissions with cvs racl.  I followed the instructions in the readme
file but nothing seems to work for me.  Here's the proceedure I
followed (repeatedly)

I built the project using:

./configure
make
make install

Then I created a directory called '/cvs_repository' and then set the
variable CVSROOT in the .bashrc file to this directory.
I called the command 'cvs init' to setup the repository.
Then I created a user and group called 'cvsadm' and add myself (stef)
to the group.  I then set CVSServerRunAsUser=cvsadm in the aclconfig.
I called the following commands:

chown cvsadm -R $CVSROOT
chgrp cvsadm -R $CVSROOT
chmod 2270 -R $CVSROOT

after that I ssh to the computer and I create a new project called
'helloworld' and import it to the cvs.

cvs racl stef:p -r ALL -d ALL
cvs racl ALL:r -r ALL -d ALL
cvs racl testuser1:wcd -d helloworld
cvs racl testuser2:n -d helloworld

but none of these commands seem to have any effect, in fact when I call

cvs racl -l -d helloworld

none of the permissions I set are displayed, only the default permission (p).
Also, no other uses e.g. testuser1, seem to be able to checkout
anything, even if I give then p or a permissions.

I guess I am doing something wrong or I missed a step.

If anyone can help please do,
Thanks,
Stefan
