Patches: cvs --allow-root=/blah server

[Jan Grant]

I'm a bit stumped as to where patches for this should go. We're looking
at running CVS here using :ext:-mode access and ssh, and using sshd's

        command="cvs --allow-root=/blah server"

option to limit people to only runing CVS.

Currently the CVS server I have access to (1.11-derived) doesn't honour
the --allow-root option for "cvs server": I've some small patches at

        http://ioctl.org/unix/cvs/

to get CVS to do so. Could you have a look at these for potential
inclusion against the next release? They're against the vendor copy
included with FreeBSD but ought to fit with the stock release.

Cheers,
jan
