Something I need to remember from time to time.

chgrp cvsusers /var/lib/cvsroot

chmod -R g+srwx /var/lib/cvsroot

Anywhere Accounts

June 4, 2006

One of my projects is Anywhere Enterprises. Ltd Anywhere has developed an innovative on-line storage system that supports a number of methods to save, retrieve and share information over the Internet.
