That's what I meant =) Except the Daemon (in this case the Oracle database) allowed the changes. That's what I meant with the CVSupd too... The committer is expected to comm it. The Daemon is expected to handle all the administivia of the allowance/versioning. Hope this makes it clearer for the both of us.
