I am trying to grant a user permissions to create a sub-directories
under on a branch using the following ACL and CVS is not allowing the
operation.  I had submitted something similar in regard to creating new
files on a branch back in early October, and have since resolved that
issue, but I am still unable to create/add new directories on a branch.
 
We are running CVSNT 2.5.03 Build 2382
 
And here are the parameters I am using:
 
The user is terry
The sub-directory is testdir
The top-level directory is releng
The CVS module is skyway
The branch is SKYWAY_BRANCH
 
This is the CVS chacl command syntax I am using:
 
cvs chacl -R -r SKYWAY_BRANCH -u terry -a all skyway/
 
And this is the error I am getting when I try to create/add the testdir
sub-directory under /skyway/releng
 
cvs [server aborted]: User 'terry' cannot create /CVS/skyway/releng
 
I even tried using specific perms on the specific directory, but still
no luck:
 
cvs chacl -R -r SKYWAY_BRANCH -u terry -a read,write,create releng/
 
Any help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
 
Thanks for your support,
 
Terry
