Paul, Please run cvsdiag on the server - it will report many things, but the important ones are whether it can write to the repository. Also try running commit with -ttt (cvs -ttt commit -m "") and look to see if there are any interesting messages in the log. In particular look for messages just before the error, and also at the top you will see it determine all the groups the user is a member of - check that engineering is one of those groups. Finally check noone has set up any CVSNT ACLs, ie: check you are running ACLs in "compat" mode (check the CVSROOT/config file, should be aclmode=compat), and run cvs -d :pserver:server:/repo rlsacl .

This caused our previously working cvsnt server to stop allowing write access. (Previous to this the server had been running for about 3 years). All my attempts to fix this problem have been for naught. Basically I have a permissions issue and I have not been able to resolve it. The cvsnt is running on windows XP sp2. The version of CVSNT is 2.5.03 Build 2382 (we had the same problem with a previous build of CVSNT, so I upgraded to the most recent I could find ). Read access to the server is working fine, we have viewCVS setup and that is also working fine. We are using sspi protocol, the CVS repo and temp directories have full permissions enabled for a group called Engineering and for myself and other test users (who are in the engineering group). (I can access the files via the network, see the expected permissions and change read/write mode). However, write access does not work. Any attempt to commit a file does not work and the error cvs [server aborted]: "commit" requires write access to the repository Is displayed. Currently I have no writer file (although I have attempted adding one which made no difference). My configuration is as follows: I am running a local lock server. Run as user: client user Default Domain: OMNITRONICS Temp Directory: c:\cvstemp Repository: c:\cvsrepo Defaults for the lock server Compatibility options : No flags ticked Clients allowed to connect; Any CVS/CVSNT All default plug ins installed The SSPI had default settings Advanced settings that are on Lockserver listens locally only Allow clients to trace server I would greatly appreciate and tips or suggestions on What should I try next?
