Hi all.
[Using CVSNT 2.5.03 build 2382 on both server and client. Server
running on Win2003 and client running on WinXP SP2, both with full
updates applied.]
Do the following:
* Log in as a CVS admin.
* Set AclMode=normal in the main CVSROOT/config file.
* Have a folder hierarchy A/B in the repository.
* Execute 'cvs chacl -n -u xxx -a read' from checked out folder
A or use an equivalent rchacl command.
* There should be no other rights set for the A/B folder.
* Log in as user xxx (not a CVS admin account, but I do not
think this is important).
Now you may check out the A/B folder even though you should
not be able to. You may do this either directly or by checking out
the base A folder.
If you explicitly set the noread rule for user xxx for the A/B folder
then everything works as expected, i.e. you may not directly check
out the A/B folder and when checking out the A folder its B
subfolder does not get checked out.
I checked the fileattr.xml files in the repository and the one in
A/CVS clearly states that the read rule for user X should not be
inheritable but CVSNT seems to be ignoring this.
Anyone else have any comments on this?
Best regards,
Jurko Gospodnetiæ
