RE: Forcing locks on files when checked out..

[Ronald Landheer]

Thx - I'll have a look over there.
Ofcourse, the company not actually ever having had a CVS (besides my own
sandbox) until today (it's up and running since this morning), no-one uses
cvs edit, and a filename like .cvsrc will definitely make them wet their
pants (Windoze-only people here)..
I'm hoping to find a server-side only config, because the induhvidual
settings would have to be done by yours truly if they're gonna be done at
all.. (I need a rather authorative/authoritarian setup for just about
everything here).

In a week or so, they'll be happy having a CVS.. ;)

Thx so far!

Ronald
