Re: question about :local: access to repository on Windows box (USERNAME -- ?)

[Bill Whiting]

True, but if there are file permissions (there won't be for
Win3.11, but will be for WinNT, if it's Win9x, then I think
it's possible to circumvent any local file permissions),
then the access to the CVS repository is based on the file
permissions.
