RE: CVS pserver on OS X El Capitan

[Arthur Barrett]

Daniel,

For a CVS Server on MacOS - using ssh (or ext depending on the client) as the 
connection method is probably best.

For pserver, I think by default CVSROOT/config is set to SystemAuth=yes; so the 
passwd file is NOT used.  If you want to use the CVSROOT/passwd file then you 
need to disable SystemAuth.

Regards,


Arthur

Subject: CVS pserver on OS X El Capitan

Hi,

I managed to setup a cvs with pserver option on a Mac box running El Capitan.
I having trouble with the passwords.
I suspect that the cvs executable is not using my passwd file inside the 
CVSROOT directory.

Anyone know if there is any option to specify the password file’s path ?

Thanks
Regards
