hello, i have a linux server with cvs. the cvs users are only allowed to access the repositories remotely over ssh. i use a cvs-wrapper that chroot the user. in the chroot environment i noticed, that i do not need a <chroot>/etc/passwd and <chroot>/etc/group file. in the chroot i do not allow the user to have a shell etc. the only command the remote user can do is a cvs! so fare everthing works fine.
my only problem is, that the userid gets no expanded to the username! e.g. will i receive an author "uid506" instead of the username "lhanack" may this be a cvs problem or is it (just) a system thing? i'm wondering, why i do not need the fake passwd and group files to let cvs run nearly perfect. tia, leif -- Leif Hanack T-Systems GEI GmbH Advanced eBusiness Solutions (AeBS) Alt-Moabit 91a, 10559 Berlin Telefon: (+49 30) 394067-31 Telefax: (+49 30) 394067-99 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: www.t-systems.com _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
