I have written some CVS HowTos have a look at:
http://wellsi.com/sme/cvs/cvs.html

and there is more CVS related information from
http://wellsi.com/sme/index.html

Any problems let me know - as I probably should update them.

Finally if you use the wayback machine then you can find the original e-smith.org site with the original HowTos.

I have tried to follow instructions on http://wellsi.com/sme/cvs/cvs.html, but seem to fall over at the last hurdle.  I try to log on to viewCVS and get:
403
You don't have permission to access /cvsroot/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi on this server.

Any pointers would be appreciated?

What version of SME Server are you using?

I'm running SME Server 6.0.1-01

I set up an ibay as per instructions.  Group is None(Staff), but I also tried Everyone.  Permissions Write=group, read=group.  I also enabled "Execution of dynamic content (CGI, PHP, SSI)" since I assumed this was needed for the GCI script.

I have not patched this install in anyway, other than the CVS stuff.[/quote]

I've just gone through my HowTo again, and added one relevant section which I hope solves your problem.

Common Problem: The following error is seen,

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /ibayname/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ on this server.

This is due to the permissions to ibayname which needs to be changed from the Server Manger.

Public access = Local Network (no password) or any value apart from No access.
Dynamic = enabled

Brilliant, that's it.  Thanks
