[cvsnt] permissions denied to some directories in a repository

[cyril dumas]

hi, 

Let's assume the repository looks like this: 

.+Root 
.| 
.|----+Docs 
........| 
........|-----Specs 
........| 
........|-----Agreements 
.| 
.|--Sources 
.| 
.|--SQL 

I have two groups of CVS users: managers and developers. For managers I
want to set the full access to the repository, but for developers only
the read access to Docs but _NO ACCESS_ to Agreements. 

I used NT permissions on the directory level, set the lockDir outside
and read only access to Specs and that works ok. But if I revoke all
rights to Agreements for usergroup developers, when a developer does a
full update on Root it stops on Agreements with the following message: 

cvs server: cannot open <my repository>/Agreements/CVS/Tag: Permission
denied 

cvs [server aborted]: Couldn't open RCS file <my
repository>/Agreements/.directory_history,v: Permission denied 


please advice on this

Cyril
