[cvsnt] ACLs, permissions, readers/writers, etc

[Ruth, Brice]

OK, I did an strace on the cvs executable and noticed that there was an 
error opening the CVSROOT/group file. It appears that there needs to be 
a "group" file in CVSROOT, not the "group,v" file that is created by 
following the directions here:

http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/Setting-up-groups.html

Unless I misunderstood something in the directions!

Looks like this portion of it is working now.

Thanks!
