Hi,
This probably isnt' a bug, but rather a problem in my own understanding of
the chacl command. I'm using cvsnt 2.0.58d with the pserver protocol for
the clients, the server is running on WindowsXP. When an admin uses chacl
to allow "write" on a directory by a certain user, for example with the
following command:
cvs chacl -u username1 -a read,write,nocontrol,tag,create .
And then executes the following command for a file WITHIN the same directory
cvs chacl -u username1 -a noread,nowrite,nocontrol,notag,nocreate file.c
Should username1 be allowed to make commits to file.c? I would think no,
because in this case the file permissions should have precedence over the
directory permissions. However, when I try this out, username1 is able do
anything to file.c except change ACLs. Note that username1 is a regular
user who is not an admin (neither in the admins file nor under NTFS).
Could someone help out?
Thanks,
Vlad
