The ownership on the directory /project/climacs/cvsroot (and some of its subdirectories) looks wrong. I would have expected the directories to be group-owned by the climacs group, but instead they're owned by group 205 -- meaning that I, as a member of the climacs group, can't create a new module, as I fail to create the directory in /project/climacs/cvsroot that is needed.

Could this be fixed, please, by altering the group ownership of /project/cvsroot/climacs /project/cvsroot/climacs/CVSROOT /project/cvsroot/climacs/climacs to the climacs group?

Oh, wait. From /etc/group

climacs:!:206:rstrandh,www-data,ejohnson,gbaumann,tmoore,abakic,abridgewater,mvilleneuve,crhodes,pfong,nayad,bmery,bmastenbrook closer:!:206:pcostanza,www-data

So maybe the right answer is that the climacs group should be renumbered to 205.

Thanks,

Christophe
