Hi All,

If I define a group in CVSROOT/group like this

tools_team: mwake bob jess

and within a previously checked out sandbox in WinCVS I highlight the 
tools directory I wish to control and type the following in the output 
window.

#Make sure I am the owner
cvs chown mwake

#By default deny all but read access to the tools directory
cvs chacl -a read,nowrite,notag,nocreate,nocontrol

#Allow the tools_team group to do stuff.
cvs chacl -u tools_team -a read,write,tag,create,control

When any of us try to make a change we are denied.

cvs lsacl looks like this.
Directory: .
Owner: mwake

user=tools_team
	read
	write
	create
	tag

<default>
	read
	write(deny)
	create(deny)
	tag(deny)
	control(deny)


Do I have to explicitly state each user or should there/is there a "-g" 
option?

Cheers
Mikew
