locate repository to see repository location.As part of the installation routine, every new user is assigned to the group "cvs". Add the new user to the group cvs.
Run the command
cvs -d /usr/local/cvs/repository/ co gt
(This might work for the user, without root privileges, I am not sure). What does work is the following:
Be root. Go to the home directory of the new user. Write "cvs get gt".
Cf. Eero's explanation:
[root@gitek cvsrep]# groups sjur sjur : sjur Aha. Sjur ei ole ryhmässä lingsoft, jolla on oikeudet gt-hakemistoon. [root@gitek cvsrep]# groups kristin kristin : kristin [root@gitek cvsrep]# /usr/sbin/usermod -G lingsoft kristin [root@gitek cvsrep]# groups kristin kristin : kristin lingsoft Nyt pitäisi toimia: [root@gitek cvsrep]# su -l sjur [sjur@gitek sjur]$ cvs get gt cvs checkout: Updating gt cvs checkout: Updating gt/doc U gt/doc/book.pdf_1.pdf <......> Jep, toimii. Nyt Kristinin pitäisi saada tiedostot ulos komentamalla cvs get gt
This is a command that perhaps is irrelevant?
[root@gitek cvsrep]# ls -lart gt drwxrwsr-x 10 trond lingsoft 4096 feb 15 17:42 gt
