Re: [cvsacl-users] Cannot open file /export/home/cvs/CVSROOT/access

[Matt A. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi

Yes this is what I did.  I had default access set tp 'p' in aclconfig,
then I tried the lines below to give my user admin access.  It seemed
to work ok and my access file has the following line:

d:ALL:ALL:44103F!p:

However, as soon as I turn default access to 'a' it says I don't have
admin rights, even though the line above is still present in the
'access' file.
