Hello, I need help on how to set up an anonymous (read/download only) cvs account on Ubuntu server (8.04LTS). A cvs version boundled with the Ubuntu server was installed, and configuered (using pserver). I added cvs user accounts for cvs users on the server, and installed TotorisCVS for Windows' clients. They are working Ok. Now I want to add an anonymous account for future open source development to allow developers remotely view/download files using anonymous account (no password, read/download files only). I followed the instructions, given in Essential CVS, 2nd Ed, 8.8.1 "You can grant anonymous, read-only access to CVS using pserver. Set up the passwd file in the CVSROOT directory with the user anonymous (or any other username) with no password or system name, and add the user anonymous to the readers file". But I got error message. Can you help? Mike
