Hi All, I am having some confusion regarding the way CVS works with permissions under unix when importing a new project. Currently, when I import a project, I get this sort of permissions on the project directory: drwxr-x--- 2 jim cvs 512 Jan 27 12:31 test_proj Notice that the group (cvs) is not granted write access. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Do I have to use chmod to grant write access to the group every time I do an import? Or is my CVS not configured correctly? If I don't grant write access to the group on that directory, every check in fails with a "could not open lock file `/usr/local/cvs/test_proj/,test.txt,': Permission denied". I tried setting the LockDir in the config file to a world-writable directory, but this doesn't seem to solve the problem when trying to check-in. Thank you!
