This happens only for checkout; update and commit work as expected. We could fix it temporarily by doing chmod o+r /home/xxx . Please note that I am not an administrator on that machine, so I'm afraid I cannot execute any experimental setup. What is described below should reproduce the bug, but I could not test it on the opensuse machine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create two users u1 and u2. 2. u1 in groups g1 and g2 3. u2 only in group g1 4. u1: chmod 751 $HOME 5. u1: chgrp g2 $HOME 6. u1: mkdir $HOME/DIR1 7. u1: chmod 751 $HOME/DIR1 8. u1: chgrp g1 $HOME/DIR1 9. u1: cvs -d $HOME/DIR1 init 10. u1: chgrp g1 -R $HOME/DIR1/CVSROOT 10. u1: chmod 2771 $HOME/DIR1/CVSROOT 11. u1: mkdir $HOME/empty; cd $HOME/empty; cvs -d $HOME/DIR1 import -m Test mod1 test start 12. u1: chgrp g1 $HOME/DIR1/mod1 13. u2: cvs -d /home/u1/DIR1 checkout mod1 Actual Results: cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot getwd in /home/u1/DIR1/CVS: Permission denied Expected Results: cvs checkout: Updating mod1 cvs version is 1.12.12 Gerald Pfeifer <gp@novell.com> asked me to report this bug and copy him, but I don't see a field to do this. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
