[Debian-sf-users] More CVS anamalies.

[Tim Uckun]

First of all I would like to know if the debian-sf maintainers would prefer 
to hear about these things on the listserve or if they would rather have me 
submit them as bugs.

Here is the latest problems.

Apparently something, someplace (maybe a cron job?) resets the permissions 
on the cvs directories. Maybe this would not be so bad but it seems to 
cripple CVS access for developers.

Here is the problem in a nutshell.
I created a project called rsdweb.
In the ldap the GidNumber for cn=rsdweb, ou=Group is 10007
the GidNumber for cn=rsdweb,ou=cvsGroup is also 10007

the cvsroot for this project is /cvsroot/rsdweb.

Sometimes the cvsroot and all the files in it change their ownership to 
somename:1007. Notice that 1007 != 10007. This prevents anybody from this 
group from checking the project in or out. If I do a "chown -R 
nobody:rsdweb /cvsroot/rsdweb" they can get back to work.

Also something is pretty wrong with the name service. /etc/init.d/bind9 
stop fails. apparently namedrndc can not find a key or something. I found a 
post on google and fixed it like this.

There is a /etc/rndc.conf which is a symlink to /etc/bind/rndc.conf delete 
the symlink.
rename /etc/bind/rndc.conf to something else.
if there is no /etc/bind/rndc.key you need to create one by running 
rndc-confgen -a
