[Bug 561194] New: cvs checkout fails due to permissions while it most likely should not
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561194 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561194#c0 Summary: cvs checkout fails due to permissions while it most likely should not Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: wf@wfaber.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091109 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.5 I get the following error when trying to check out a module located in the home directory of another user (anonymized): m1:~/tmp/new> cvs -d /home/xxx/DIR1/CVS checkout mod cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot getwd in /home/xxx/DIR1/CVS: Permission denied m1:~/tmp/new> This is apparently a permission problem, but it should not occur as the permissions are as follows drwxrwsr-x 61 xxx g1 4096 2009-10-14 11:38 /home/xxx/DIR1/CVS/ drwxr-x--x 9 xxx g1 4096 2009-05-18 03:54 /home/xxx/DIR1/ drwxr-x--x 48 xxx g2 4096 2009-11-23 14:06 /home/xxx/ My user is in group g1 but not in g2: m1:~/tmp/new> groups faber faber : vi li cola g1 But this should not matter as there is no need for cvs to read or write in /home/xxx/ . 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.

CVS treats (parts or all) of the path given as belonging to the repository, even possibly shortening the path if it matches server-side modules (see man-page). Looking at the strace output, there is a chunk of: 29639 1385676021.748326 chdir("test1") = 0 29639 1385676021.748345 stat("CVS", 0x7fff9725be60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748367 access("./CVS", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748387 mkdir("./CVS", 0777) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) 29639 1385676021.748411 write(2, "cvs checkout: warning: cannot make directory CVS in .: Permission denied\n", 73) = 73 29639 1385676021.748439 open("CVS/Tag", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748461 open("CVS/Entries", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748483 write(2, "cvs checkout: in directory test1:\n", 34) = 34 29639 1385676021.748510 write(2, "cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory\n", 77) = 77 29639 1385676021.748543 open("CVS/Entries.Log", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748565 openat(AT_FDCWD, ".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 5 29639 1385676021.748589 getdents(5, /* 3 entries */, 32768) = 80 29639 1385676021.748612 stat("./cvsroot/CVS", 0x7fff9725bdb0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748633 getdents(5, /* 0 entries */, 32768) = 0 29639 1385676021.748652 close(5) = 0 29639 1385676021.748672 open("CVS/Entries.Log", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748694 stat("CVS", 0x7fff9725be20) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748717 open("CVS/Entries.Static", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 29639 1385676021.748742 write(2, "cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open CVS/Entries.Static: No such file or directory\n", 82) = 82 , i.e. if not existing, CVS attempts to create CVS/ subdirs in all intermediate directory levels. There's an easy workaround though: Instead of cvs -d /home/u1/DIR1 checkout mod1, do a cd /home/u1/DIR1; cvs checkout mod1 (if necessary set CVSROOT env var, or specify via -d:pserver:...). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
