[cvsnt] User xxx cannot read CVSROOT

[Colin Fraser]

Hi,
 
I'm getting the same problem as was reported in this old post after creating
a new repository but I'm unclear how to resolve it.  
Is it the Windows security or the CVS security that I need to alter to give
me access?
 
I have added my user id to the Windows administrator group but that didn't
seem to make any difference.  So I'm guessing it must be the CVS ACL stuff I
need to change, however I seem to be in a chicken/egg situation as to use
the chacl command it seems I need to have cvsroot already checked out, but I
can't checkout as I don't have access.
 
Any help will be appreciated.
 
Regards,
 
Colin
