I have been using CVS 1.10 for some time, over a number of projects using both CVS and WinCVS clients. Authentication is using pserver; the server is running on a Linux box using inetd, which is configured to start the server as user "rcs" in group "cvs". This combination exists partly for historical reasons, and partly for security reasons - I do not want the repository owned by root.
The present server is however running out of steam, and I am in the process of setting up a new server, this time using CVS-1.11.1p1. If I try to start the server in the same way as on the old server, as user rcs/cvs, the any cvs command gives me the error "setgid failed: Operation not permitted" After trying various combinations, it appears that the server will ONLY run correctly as root :-( 1) Is this a deliberate change? 2) Is it possible to revert to the previous mode by means of configuration options in building? At this point I seem to have two options - revert to the older 1.10 version or create a chrooted environment for the server, neither of which particularly appeal to me. Your advice will be appreciated. =Pat _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
