What are the correct permissions for the CVS tree? Unless I have everything rw_rw_??? with a group of 'eng' (engineering) people in the 'eng' group cannot use it. however cvsup keeps changing the permissions of everything so I've had to add a 'chmod -R g+rw /cvs; chgrp -R cvs /cvs' to teh script that runs cvsup each day. Is access to CVS goverened entirely by file permissions? We are using cvs directly on that machine, pserver mode within the company and rsh server elsewhere. I don't want to make cvs SUID.. Can cvsup be told to 'leave it alone'? should I set up everyone to some different group? How does this work? any pointers (yes I've looked for info but it's escaping me) would be welcome. julian
