Hi,
There are two solutions:
1) (from deep in the info files) is write a wrapper script around cvs,
and have inetd call the wrapper script.
2) Apply the patch that I wrote that adds an option to list the cvs trees in
a file. The patch is still unofficial, but I was hoping to get it
commited to the main cvs tree. The option is --allow-root-list,
and the patch is at
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~capveg/cvs.root-allow-list.patch .
[ It would seem that my web directory got blown away by FrontPage!$*&^$$, I
will restore the patch promptly, but if you get a 404 on it, try again in a
few hours or mail me. Sorry]
If you decided to go with #2, please let me know if you run into any problems.
