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

Incidently, I had to create a blank file called 'access' in my CVSROOT
as the file did not exist.  When I checked in aclconfig it said it
couldn't access the file so I created it.

It seems to be that this file is just completely ignored and the
default permissions are always used.
