Hello everyone, I'm running 2.5.03 Build 2151 on Windows 2000 SP4. I'm experiencing the same kind of temp directory problem that Bo was seeing, when running pserver from any kind of client (Solaris/Linux/Windows). The default domain name is 'EMEA'. The symptoms are: cvs -z9 -w -x -d :pserver:manngar at lonis84100.uk.ml.com:/repositories/gda2 checkout -P -- gda2-all-src (in directory C:\workspaces\testcvs) cvs [server aborted]: cannot change permissions on temporary directory E:\temp/cvs-serv5308: Permission denied i.e. when checking out a module from the repository The prior "cvs login" command works fine. If I make the user (in this case EMEA\manngar) an local administrator on the server, everything works OK. I've followed the previous thread on the subject, and have checked the permissions on the temp directory. The user in question definitely has Full Control, and this can be verified by connecting to the drive in question as an administrator, and using the Effective Permissions tab on a WinXP client. I'm really stumped by this one. If I enable server side tracing I see the following: 10:50:26: S -> CVS Server is acting as member of domain 'EMEA' 10:50:26: S -> Client sent 'BEGIN AUTH REQUEST' 10:50:26: S -> Authentication protocol returned user(manngar) 10:50:26: S -> win32switchtouser(manngar) 10:50:26: S -> win32getpwnam(manngar) 10:50:26: S -> Authenticating server: \\ELONMDCE03 10:50:26: S -> Trying Setuid helper... 10:50:26: S -> SuidGetImpersonationToken returned 00000000 10:50:26: S -> User verified - calling ImpersonateLoggedOnUser 10:50:26: S -> wnt_chmod(E:\temp/cvs-serv5308,0700) 10:50:26: S -> unlink_file_dir(E:\temp/cvs-serv5308) If I look in the Windows event log I see a successful security logon event: Successful Network Logon: User Name: manngar Domain: EMEA Logon ID: (0x0,0x543E9276) Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: Setuid Authentication Package: Setuid Workstation Name: - Finally, I tried the runas suggestion. I was able to login as an admin on the box, runas /user:emea\manngar cmd.exe, and then create a directory in e:\temp and use cacls to modify the permissions. This all worked fine. So I'm stuck. Is anyone else seeing the same problems? Am I missing something? Exactly what does wnt_chmod() attempt to perform? I notice from the server log that there is a call to unlink_file_dir(), but no trace message relating to the creation of the directory - is this the problem, or is it a logfile deficiency? Thanks in advance for any help, Regards, Gary -------------------------------------------------------- If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it.
