Noel,
My group was recently enquiring into the possibility of implementing
some sort of CVS security. Would you mind giving some brief examples of
the kinds of things you can do with:
SSH
ACLs
I'm just looking for a little more detail than you provide below. This
will help me get my research pointed in the right direction. Thanks
Chuck
