Hi ,

In the present scenario, we have usernames/passwords stored for each
repository on the CVS system itself. We would like to use the LDAP server
for CVS authentication which stores all the Network login IDs and passwords.
This way we wouldn't have to store passwords on the server and users will
have to remember only their network/windows login password.

For this, we might have to install some system level packages related to PAM
(which supports LDAP authentication).

So anybody have any links or docs to configure the LDAP on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 2)

Thanks for help in advance.

cheers

With version 1.11.11 everything works fine on my side too. These stranges
things only happen with 1.11.21.
Is there anything I might have done wrong during compilation?

No, I am sorry, there are no markers in the repository file.

Subject: Manager setting permissions on modules!!!

Message-ID: <address@hidden>

Hi,

As an administrator I can set the permissions on modules using cvsacls.
Now the scenario is:
1. We have say projects X and Y in the repository.
2. Manager-A is managing Project-X and Manager-B is managing Project-Y.
3. Manager-A want to give access to developers on modules/branches
under Project-X.

As an administrator I can provide with the neccessary access. However
Manager-A wants to have this control in his hands as the access keeps
changing quite frequently(he could not convince me to this, but after
all he is a manager ;)).
Now if I give him access to cvsacls file he can screw up the access
rights (accidently or may be not) that exist for Project-Y.
Is there a way to give control to Manager-X to control access rights of
developers working on Project-X?

Thanks
akkisoft

Akkisoft,

The free GPL CVSNT for Linux, Unix, Windows and Mac can do that since
ACL's are integrated (cvs chacl etc) and there is a permission for
setting permissions...

Refer to the cvsnt manual or the cvsnt newsgroup and wiki for more
information.

Arthur Barrett

Hi Norm,

Our commercial tool, FishEye, sits alongside your CVS and does
changeset analysis (amongst many other things). It also allows very
sophisticated querying so that you could pull commit messages and
changeset IDs from the repository into CSV format very easily by
running a query like:

select revisions from dir /projects/foo
group by changeset
return author, comment, csid

You can run this query via a web interface or via a REST-style web API.

More information about FishEye can be found at http://www.cenqua.com/
fisheye

A live demo instance of FishEye can be found here: http://
www.cenqua.com/fisheye/demo/

Cheers,

Did you created the cvspserver or any other cvs file under /etc/xinetd.d(if
you are using redhat linux) or inetd(any other distro of linux)

Moreover did you login into the cvs before importing the files

cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/pathtocvsrepo/ login

I am assuming ur using pserver as the protocol.

Read this url for configuring cvs on redhat linux.
