[cvsnt] anonymous user

[Arthur Barrett]

Cary,

Please keep your messages on the newsgroup.

If you are getting permission errors to /CVSROOT then you've set the
windows permissions too tight. 

Note you usually control permissions with "cvs chacl" instead of with
Windows.

Regards,


Arthur

I get a message that the server rejected access to
/CVSRoot (the repository) for the user.  

I did give the anon windows user read/exec permissions
on the folder (in windows).  I could not find anything
in the CVS control panel regarding security.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here.   Seems
like i'm close, but missing something minor.

Thanks for the response,
Cary
