On the server machine? Nope. In fact none of the current
users have a shell login on the server.

There is p4web, which provides a web front end (which can be
run in "viewer mode" for read-only access).
There is also p4p ("p4 proxy") which is a way to distribute
load while still accessing it from any of the regular
p4 clients. The proxy looks exactly like a regular p4
server. The connection from the proxy to the master
can be made read-only.
Then there is a way to set up remote repositories. These are
limited to read-only access to the master repository. You run
a regular p4d with a depot spec that specifies a depot type of
"remote" and point it at $P4PORT. This is not as efficient
as p4p, since the traffic isn't cached.
I think anyone who has existing access can set any of those up
(the p4 proxy might need a protections table entry which can
be added by one of nicholas/hv/jhi/me), so please feel free to
experiment.
