Hi, Don,
Hmmm, me too am new to CVS and CHACL,
I hve just tried what u sugested, but i got some errors,
for example, when i am assigning permission to myself,
cvs chacl -u tuser -a read,write,create,tag,control

i got the following errors:
cvs chacl: ignoring CVS BKUP <CVS/Repository missing>
setting ACL for directory test

I have CVSNT 2.0.58d installed on a Windows Server 2003 standard 
edition, there is AD installed on the server.
And i am accessing the Server from a Windows XP Pro, through SSPI protocol.

Can u help me plz, how to set the ACL permissions.

Thnks & Regards
Vinay
