Re: cvs and ldap

Please tell me, if you found some hints!

I'm llooking for something like that too. For now, my solution will be
(and implemented soon) to let a script create/maintain the
CVSROOT/passwd file. It will read CVSROOT/passwd, check for every entry
if there is an according ldap-entry and update the passwd-entry.
If a user wants to become a "member" of an repository, then the same
script creates an entry in CVSROOT/passwd and from that moment on it
will be updated too.
Any users without an matching ldap entry will stay unmodified.

Not so good, but my best idea so far (without hacking any cvs code ;-).

Ciao for now, Dirk
