AGAIN: Trouble accessing repository on a share (was RE: [cvsnt] SSPIProtocol security)

[Thomas Muller]

All,

Sorry for re-posting this, but it's quite important for me to get this
working and I'm completely stuck; have no ideas how to move forward. I know
Cvs-nt is accessing the <repository>\CVSROOT\ directory, but it still
reports back a permission error when I try to check out files. Se below for
details.

Any input or ideas would be _much_ appreciated. Thanks.

| Hi,
|
| My config is:
|
| CvsNt: 1.11.1.3-73
| OS: Win2000 5.00.2195 SP2
|
| CVSROOT/config:
| systemauth=no
|
| CVSROOT/passwd:
| ttm:
|
| The host running cvsnt and the host with the share has a user ttm with
| administrator rights. The share is shared with read/write permissions to
| everyone. The cvsnt service is running as administrator. I use the SSPI
| protocol.
|
| I've added the repository on the share to cvsnt (via the console). Logging
| in works fine. I know for sure that cvsnt reads the CVSROOT
| directory on the
| share because it detects a deliberately entered syntax error in
| CVSROOT/config. However, when I try to checkout it reports back with "cvs
| [server aborted]: Cannot access G:\cvstest\CVSROOT: Permission denied".
|
| The exact same thing happens if I access the repository via a UNC
| drive (the
| console does not support adding UNC drives, but I added it directly in the
| registry. Note that in this configuration cvsnt is still able to read
| CVSROOT\config: a deliberately entered syntax error in this file is duly
| reported back to the client.
|
| I suspect that the cvsnt process is allowed to _read_ files in repository
| but fails when a write is issued. Am I on the right path?
|
| I can't be the first to have this or a similar configuration, and I cannot
| believe it's a bug in cvsnt. It must be a configuration setting but I just
| can't get my head around it.
|
| Any ideas or input would be much appreciated.
