Hi,

the following was already discussed on the list, but unfortunately it did
not help me. The person ("Babbula") asking the question does not respond to my
mail, so I have to ask you people for help.

I get exactly the same error ("cannot open ...config"). I have checked the
directory tree: Both "System" and "Everyone" have full read/write access to
all directories.
The CVS repository is on a NT-server in a domain.

Is there a way to check if SYSTEM really has access to the config file? What
else can I do?

The problem is that I am not allowed to touch that server myself. The only
person to handle it is our administrator, and he is out of his wits...

The command I am trying to issue is to add users for the pserver protocol:

C:\>cvs passwd -a haag
cvs [passwd aborted]: unrecognized auth response from ALI: cvs server: E
cannot open G:/cvs/cvsrepo/TEST/CVSROOT/config: Permission denied

C:\>dir g:\cvs\cvsrepo\test\cvsroot\config

Directory of g:\cvs\cvsrepo\test\cvsroot

21.11.02  08:43                    608 config


Thanks for your help!
