[cvsnt] permissions problem.

[Adam Shand]

Hi.

I have a small problem that I'm hoping there is an easy solution to. 
I'm setting up a CVS server that our engineers use to collaborate on 
code with our customers.  If possible I'd like to do all access control 
with file permissions rather then repositories.

I've setup a directory structure like this:

c:\repositories
	\temp
	\lock
	\cvsroot
		\CVSROOT
		\cust1
		\cust2

It's important that cust1 NOT know that cust2 exists on the server (and 
vice versa).  The way I attempted to do this was to create a group per 
customer and give full permissions on their module directories and on 
all the directories about that give *only* traverse permissions.

 From a permissions standpoint this seems to do what I want, however CVS 
chokes because it can't stat the \cvsroot directory.

Is there a way around this?  I would like it if instead of choking it 
just continued on it's way since they actually do have all the 
permissiosn they need in \CVSROOT and \custX directories.

Thanks for any help and for such a great project.

ADam.
