Re: Using CVS as server

[Rob Helmer]

Hello,


Actually it does, look here specifically :

http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC30

You just put an entry in your inetd.conf, like this :
2401  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs -f 
--allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver

If you don't want to use pserver ( it's unencrypted ), then just
make UNIX accounts for your users, have them set two environment 
variables like this :

CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/path/to/cvsroot
CVS_RSH=ssh

Then they can just execute CVS commands normally.

In this case all you need is an SSH server.



HTH,
Rob Helmer
