Normaly the CVSNT server should even work correctly under this circumstances. The permissions are stored within the rcs files and are versioned also as any other change to the source. Looking at the ,v-files you will find a line like: 'permissions 666;' In older version of cvs, the permissions are stored as file permissions of the rcs files. If one migrates to cvsnt, and the new server does not find permissions in the respective rcs file, the permissions are taken from the rcs file permissions (like old cvs does). On any commit, the permissions are put into the rcs-file. So if your migration has lost the permissions, it may be they are alredy lost, when moving the repository to the new location? But anyway, you can restore the permissions by setting it in your sandbox and commiting the changes (may be with a -f if nothing else has changed). -- Best regards, Richard mailto:richard at wirthware.de
