| Summary : A CVS pserver Daemon
|
Description :
cvsd is a wrapper program for cvs in pserver mode. It will run \'cvs
pserver\' under a special uid/gid in a chroot jail. cvsd is run as a
daemon and is controlled through a configuration file. It is
relatively easy to configure and tools are provided for setting up a
rootjail.
This server can be useful if you want to run a public cvs pserver. You
should however be aware of the security limitations of running a cvs
pserver. If you want any kind of authentication you should really
consider using secure shell as a secure authentication mechanism and
transport. Passwords used in cvs pserver are transmitted in plaintext
and this wrapper won\'t change that.
This server adds a layer of security to cvs. cvs is a very powerful
tool and is capable of running scripts and other things. By running
cvs in a rootjail it is possible to limit the amount of \"damage\" cvs
can do if it is exploited. It is generally a good idea to run cvsd
without any write permissions to any directory on the system.
