I have a cgi script which does an anonymous pserver checkout
from sourceforge. I'm a bit surprised that cvs looks in root's
home directory for .cvspass.
>cvs checkout: could not open /home/root/.cvspass: Permission denied
>cvs [checkout aborted]: use "cvs login" to log in first
I'm currently working around this by
chmod 711 ~root2
chmod 644 ~root2/.cvspass
So, two questions:
1. In order to avoid having to do "cvs login" on anonymous accounts,
would a "-a" flag for anonymous access be useful? It could set
the password to "".
2. Why does cvs look for ~root/.cvspass instead of ~nobody/.cvspass?
3. Any horrific side effects of the chmod? This is a stock linux
box, with no special secrets hiding in ~root.
TIA,
Mark
