Hi! I run local mirror of FreeBSD CVS Repository using cvsup-mirror and keep it in sync. Generally, I use it to update my servers but sometimes I dig in it for education purposes :) Definitly, I do not want to touch it in any way, so Repo is owned by root and I play with it as non-root. Yesterday I need to look what changes was done to pppd after import of 2.3.5 (it runs perfectly for me but is outdated and some features are missing, f.e. it demands to work on pty only). So I type: cvs -R -d /home/ncvs checkout -r ppp_2_3_5 src/usr.sbin/pppd And I get an error message: cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot write to /home/ncvs/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied. It is right, I do not have rights to write to /home/ncvs and I definitly not want cvs do that. Why it insists to write to the Repo even it's in read-only mode? My system is FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE with stock cvs 1.10.7 How can I resolve this without giving users write access to the Repo? I remember it did not want such access some time ago.
