It's the converse of writers and they normally aren't both >used. What I meant was this, which is how I believe it works: writers file: will contain users that are allowed to both read and write readers file: will contain users allowed to read but not write A user present in the writers file is automatically granted read permission (no use with a write only access, right?). With this setup I do believe that anyone not listed in one of these files will be disallowed any access to CVS at all. Thus with an empty but existing readers file and a writers file with the allowed developers noone but the developers will have access. Or??? /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
