Sure, no problem! :-) I struggled through this too.
First of all, what version of CVSNT are you running? The pre-2.5.01
versions don't do permission inheritance (you have to spell it out for
each folder), you can't specify groups of people (in the CVSROOT/group
file) for access, and some early versions even give errors and create
malformed XML files. For starters, go through the security chapter in the
cvsnt manual (chapter 3), then read Appendix A about the chacl command.
Here's the order you'll want to run the cvs commands. Let's assume that
you have cvs userids called "joe" and "fred." Joe creates a project and
wants to only give permission to Fred to access his project. First step
is to tell CVS that Joe owns the folder:
> cvs chown joe
Then he gives himself full control:
> cvs chacl -u joe -a read,write,create,tag,control
Now he adds Fred's access, but he only wants Fred to have read and write
access (you tell cvs what Fred CAN do - and then by default he can't
create tags, new files or folders, and can't change ACL permissions):
> cvs chacl -u fred -a read,write
Now Joe sets the permissions that keep all others out of the project:
> cvs chacl -a noread,nowrite,nocreate,notag,nocontrol
This command lists out the permissions set for the folder:
> cvs lsacl
Hope that helps.....
