Hi list, I came across this on the SuSE-Security mailing list:
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security/2001-Aug/0051.html http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security/2001-Aug/0053.html (the posts belong together) This might just be a possible answer to that oft-asked question "how do I give only this-and-this person a subset of CVS functions?" and the various different mutations of it. >From what I gather, it is possible to create SSH-keys that when used will only allow certain very specific command lines to be run. It isn't too much of a stretch to create your own exact set of CVS commands that you want to divide across a group of people. It is probably no news to weathered SSH gurus, but I have never seen it mentioned on the list. Also: I can't say I have tried to do anything like this myself; I'm just offering it as an inspiration for others. Hopefully someone _will_ investigate it and send a short report back to the list. There are probably some pros and cons to it, but describing those accurately exceeds my SSH knowledge. Cheers, Schmolle -- Brain for hire.
