Tony - thanks for the response, but I think my question might have been
unclear.

 

Say I have a project named 'TreePocWebProject' and I want to limit cvsuser
to read only access, so I do the following:

 

cvs -r checkout TreePocWebProject

cd TreePocWebProject

 

Now I run this 

            cvs chacl -R cvsuser:r  (or just 'cvs chacl cvsuser:r')

 

This is the output:

            ? .classpath,v

? .owner

? .perms

? .project,v

? .websettings,v

? .website-config,v

? JavaSource

? TreePocWebDiagram.gph,v

? WebContent

? writers

 

Now if I log in as cvsuser I have read-only access only to the files in the
top-level directory. Everything in JavaSource is still writable by this
user. This is what I meant by it not being recursive. (When I say log in, I
mean I return to an IDE [Websphere Application Developer] establish a CVS
connection and execute a commit from that environment).

 

Perhaps I'm missing a step or misunderstandign something?

Thanks again.
