RE: Readonly

[vvor]

env | grep CVSREAD produces no output.

checkout on the server is now read-write. checkout on server (logged in as
non-root user), read-write.

on pc workstations, files are still readonly. same user on linux that got
read-write gets read only files on a pc. on macintosh, readonly. readonly
shmeadonly.

so, everyone but the server machine gets files read-only. why? is this
fixable?

Were these last tests local, on the server machine, or
client/server?  If the latter, try the former.  One step at a
time...

Did you check that CVSREAD is *really* undefined?
        env | grep CVSREAD
should produce no output.

Also, check your umask.  (Long shot here; you'd likely already
have noticed if it was too restrictive.)

Unknown; I've never used watches, and rarely used WinCVS.  But
that's an old version, isn't it?  Try upgrading.

Nope, this is (a) totally unrelated, and (b) not a problem.
Imports aren't *supposed* to change the modules file.

Try upgrading that too, on both client and server.
