Hi Nick,

Thanks for your reply. I need a loginfo script like the Noel send me in perl.  As i  implented the ACL on my repository. There for the following reason the unix script was required as Noel explained in his previous mail.
Given:
1. Default ACLs cannot tell the difference between
directories and files.
2. Repo directory permissions need to be treated
differently from repo file permissions.

Therefore:
1. A loginfo script will need to reset file ACLs for
each commit.  It will also need to set ACLs on new
elements.  Typically, this setting is a combination of
inheritance from the parent directory for ACL users
and groups and read permissions, files are never
writable, files may need to be executable, and
directories are always writable and executable.

Script is in perl  and i need to learn it. I will appreciate if u can help in this regard.

Regards,
shakeel

when a user who is not the owner of the files in repository (Although
he has rwx permissions), check in a file the script on its execution
gives an error message :

Muhammad,

I didn't catch this whole thread, but would like to offer ACL
insight. I researched this area and ended up using the ACL script
included with the CVS source. When setup correctly, this script turns out
suitable for controlling access on a per module, directory, branch,
and user basis.

Hope this helps.
