[cvsnt] Locking the HEAD/Branch - Is there one good document??

[Gromer]

Hi Arthur,

Referring to the FAQ.. I tried the following.

 I am trying to set access permissions for the HEAD. I am referring to the
guide you had shown.
 When i try to set access persmissions i get the following errors..

 Please let me know if my steps are not proper.
 I logged in as admin.


----------------------------------------------------------

administrator at akonix /cygdrive/h/product_1
$ cvs chacl -R -r HEAD -a noread,nowrite,notag, nocreate,nocontrol
cvs chacl: in directory .:
cvs [chacl aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first

administrator at akonix /cygdrive/h/product_1
$ cvs co CVSROOT/
cvs checkout: ignoring CVSROOT (CVS/Repository missing)
cvs checkout: in directory CVSROOT:
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
/* snipped */

administrator at akonix /cygdrive/h/product_1
$ cvs chacl -R -r HEAD -a noread,nowrite,notag, nocreate,nocontrol
cvs chacl: in directory .:
cvs [chacl aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure what files need to be checkout from CVSRoot...

Your suggestions are highly appreciable.

Thanks,
Gromer.
