[cvsacl-users] cvs acl/racl problems while setting permissions

[Zdenek P. <zde...@sy...>]

Hallo,

  I have problems when try to tweak ACLs for users.

Steps:
------
1. local machine - set enviromental variables
  export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
  export CVSROOT=:ext:pi...@my...:/cvs/cvsroot

2. my.server.com - prepare cvs root and make me an admin
  cvs -d /cvs/cvsroot/ init
  cvs -d /cvs/cvsroot racl pizl:p -r ALL -d ALL

3. localmachine - checkout CVSROOT and change aclconfig
  cvs co CVSROOT
  change CVSACLDefaultPermissions -> CVSACLDefaultPermissions=cdrw

4. server - try to set up permissions for other user
  cvs -d /cvs/cvsroot racl username:cdrw -r ALL -d ALL
Error: cvs [racl aborted]: You do not have admin rights on ''
- But I AM an admin, I DO HAVE rights ...

I suppose it has someting with CVSACLDefaultPermissions, because when I
change it back to 'p' then it works. Probably I misunderstand the
meaning of that keyword ...

Questions:
----------
1. So how have I use it? Or better - where is any comprehensive manual
for CVS acl.

2. In case there is no such manual, how these permission do work?

Software used:
--------------
Red Hat Linux 9 fully updated (both local machine and server)
CVS 1.11.19 + 1.2.2 cvsacl patch (both local machine and server)


Thanks for help, regards z.p.
