[cvsnt] CVSNT Permission denied (cvsrepo security problem)

[Bo Berglund]

You should switch to using the LockServer service instead.
For this you have to edit the CVSROOT/config file and enable the lockserver.
Because you don't have CVS access right now you can edit the file directly so that you can again work, but then you must cehck out CVSROOT and do the enabling again in your sandbox and commit. If you don't do this then your changes to config will be lost at a later time.

With lockserver there are no permission problems anymore for locking.

Subject: [cvsnt] CVSNT Permission denied (cvsrepo security problem)


Dear all,
  My CVSNT worked fine yesterday with wincvs. But after I change cvsrepo's security attribute, I can not use CVSNT again, though i changed the security attribute back to let everyone's full control of cvsrepo. I can login but can not "edit selection","update","add" and "commit". I have met this problem 1 month ago. Today i met this problem again. I send the mail for I have had important data in CVSNT. anyone help me ? thanks on advance.
