cvs, running on redhat 9, mostly working fine.
but there is one module that i want to have accessible to an external
developer. accordingly, i've created an account for him, given that
account access to the relevant module folders, and removed all other
rights as far as possible - i don't want there to be any chance of him
getting at the rest of the source code, logging onto the shell, ssh'ing
in and browsing samba shares, etc.
when i try to log in as him i get the following error:
cvs -z9 -q checkout -d MessageSyncServerA MessageSyncServer (in
directory C:\SourceCode)
open /dev/null failed
Permission denied
can anyone give be a clue as to what extra rights i have to give to this
user for him to be able to check the module out of cvs? /dev/null has
666 access and looks perfectly normal in all respects.
hits i've found on google indicate that this might be something to do
with "chroot" and "jail", but a quick check doesn't reveal anything
obvious like a /chroot folder on my server, so i assume i'm not running it.
thanks in advance.
(if you could copy any reply to my email address as well as the
newsgroup that would be appreciated.)
