Howard,
I responded to this same question once before with the following:
I restrict people from being able to commit to CVSROOT by using commitinfo.
I added the following line to commitinfo:
CVSROOT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitinfo_ckuser -user=$USER
I added commitinfo_ckuser in checkoutlist so that it is available with the
other administrative files.
And my commitinfo_ckuser program looks like the following:
---------------------- < cut here > ----------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -ws
# commitinfo_ckuser D.Miller
# called by commitinfo
#
# $Id: commitinfo_ckuser,v 1.6 2000/09/20 16:06:46 miller Exp $
#
# This program is called by $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitinfo
# and is used to verify if user is authorized for changing CVSROOT
# so that commit to CVSROOT files can be restricted
#
# The logfile is not used at this time.
#
$user = $ENV{"USER"} unless defined $user;
$CVSROOT = $ENV{"CVSROOT"} unless defined $CVSROOT;
$logfile = "$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitinfo_ckuser.log" unless defined $logfile;
print "\$CVSROOT=$CVSROOT\n";
%authorized = ($user =>0, #prevent uninitialized variable
'miller' =>1, #authorized users for CVSROOT checkin
'heuston' =>1,
'cmbuild' =>1,
'cmvmgr' =>1,
'brodzell' =>1
);
($repository, @files) = @ARGV;
$ck_user = @ck_user = getpwnam $user; # checking if user exists locally
if ($repository =~ /$CVSROOT\/CVSROOT/) {
if (($authorized{$user} == 0) || ($ck_user == 0)) {
print "You are not authorized to commit CVSROOT files.\n";
exit 1; # <<<<----------------------<<<<<<<<<<<
}
}
exit 0; # <<<<----------------------<<<<<<<<<<<
# current date and time
$sec = $mday = $mday = $wday = $wday = $yday = $isdst = 0; #not used
($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) = gmtime(time);
$date = sprintf("%4d%02d%02s-%02d:%02d", ($year + 1900), ($mon + 1), $mday,
$hour,
$min);
open(LOGFILE, ">>$logfile") or die "Cannot append to $logfile: $!\n";
print LOGFILE "$date $user $repository @files\n";
close(LOGFILE);

I currently have the log file code turned off.
This version has a hard coded list of authorized users, however, I have also
done
it by checking the users group. This version also checks if a person has a
local
account
using: $ck_user = @ck_user = getpwnam $user; # checking if user exists
locally
If none of your users have local accounts you could use that method and have no
hard coded authorized list.
I find it simple and it works.
