You don't specify the multiple groups in the passwd file. You add it to the end of each group line in /etc/group. Check out group(5). > If it's 2 - what do I need to do? You have a owner specified in the /etc/passwd, with a cvspasswd file in CVSROOT subdir mapping the users to the owner. This is not good for development purposes as you lose $Author$ information. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Computers are like air conditioners.
