[cvsnt] Question about chacl

[Mike Wake]

Jeffrey,

Try actually being in the ProjectName directory before trying to run cvs 
chacl

ie
cvs checkout -r HEAD ProjectName
cd ProjectName
cvs chacl cvsadmin:rwc

use
cvs lsacl
to check the current state of a directory .... not cvs lacl.

cheers
Mikew


PS IIRC v2.0.38 was a dodgy server that didn't get branch merging right.
