File Permission issues specific to Windows
------------------------------------------

   Some file permission issues are specific to Windows operating
systems (Windows 95, Windows NT, and presumably future operating
systems in this family.  Some of the following might apply to OS/2 but
I'm not sure).

   If you are using local CVS and the repository is on a networked file
system which is served by the Samba SMB server, some people have
reported problems with permissions.  Enabling WRITE=YES in the samba
configuration is said to fix/workaround it.  Disclaimer: I haven't
investigated enough to know the implications of enabling that option,
nor do I know whether there is something which CVS could be doing
differently in order to avoid the problem.  If you find something out,
please let us know as described in Note: BUGS.
