Corey: I have added the ability to have user groups....
Noel: FYI, file system support for ACLs (man setfacl for info) would make
your patch redundant....
As I understand it, to use Unix file permissions CVS has to run as root,
which has security implications. If security is important, it is not a good
idea to run CVS as root. Solaris has ACLs already but the security issue
prevents using them with CVS. Corey's patch allows CVS to run as 'cvsuser'
and still control access.
Or have I missed something?
Regards,
Martin
