Hi everybody, here's what I'm trying to do: I'm running cvsnt 2.0.8 on a Linux machine using /var/cvsnt as $CVSROOT. I have created a directory for lockfiles in /var/lock/cvsntlocks belonging to the cvs group and all cvs users have write access to it. This is the line from my config file: LockDir=/var/lock/cvsntlocks The cvs group does not have write access to the /var/cvsnt/CVSROOT directory since its members are not allowed to tamper with the configuration. However I do want them to be able to edit the modules file whenever they are about to start working on a new module. Is this possible at all? So far I keep getting the same error whenever I try to commit to the repository: "cvs [server aborted]: could not open lock file `/var/cvsnt/CVSROOT/,modules,': Permission denied" The odd thing about it is that the lockfiles do get created in /var/lock/cvsntlocks despite the above error message. I've already tried changing the individual files' permissions to group write access, but as long as the directory itself remains read-only committing does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thorsten
