Re: Using cvs in a website
Hi, If you are working with apache as web server, then you should configure it to exclude CVS from documents, e.g. "IndexIgnore .??* *~ *# HEADER HEADER.html README README.html RCS CVS" I manage Web sites with CVS myself (if you read French, see http://www.freenix.org/curiosite/cvs.html#E4) and I use the following: DirectoryMatch "/CVS/" order allow,deny deny from all /DirectoryMatch FilesMatch "^Makefile" order allow,deny deny from all /FilesMatch Yes, that's it. I think I only managed apache's auto indexing mechanism, not the unwanted access to ./CVS and all that. Ciao for now, Dirk -- Dirk Ruediger, Rostock, Germany "I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel.

Re: Proposal: have client CVS send remote username to server CVS
Yes, exactly. This is what happens now with pserver. Ideally, CVS should use an environment variable REMOTE_USER that's set by authentication software (eg SSH). But since I don't want to risk breaking SSH, I don't want to make the change in it.

No, it's not, it's extremely prone to replay attacks and stolen .cvspass files. Furthermore, the encryption of the .cvspass file is reversible, meaning that, given a .cvspass file, /anyone/ can figure out the plaintext password. More than that, any code dealing with security _must_ be audited to ensure that it is secure. I don't think that's been done to any of the CVS code; I don't think it should be necessary.

maccvs bugs
I use maccvs with rsh to execute cvs with ssh on a local Linux box (hey, it works :) so I can "securely" talk to a remote cvs server. So I just upgraded this week to the latest maccvs (3.1.6), and I keep getting these errors: cvs commit -m "Don't allow author editing for low seclev in admin.pl; add new method for URI to..." CHANGES Slash.pm (in directory Bourque:Prog:src:Pudge:Work:andover:src:MAIN:slash:) rresvport: bind failed with 22 rcmd: socket: Unknown Error (22) cvs [commit aborted]: cannot start server via rcmd: Unknown Error (22) *CVS exited normally with code 1* Basically, I can perform one action, and every subsequent action gives the above error. I need to quit maccvs and restart it, and it works again for one action. The previous version I had (3.1.4) would give this error only once in a while (maybe once a week). There is one other problem I have: sometimes when I open a Recent Browser window, maccvs just hangs. I have to hit cmd-. until maccvs quits, and then try again. Sometimes it does that several times before it works. Seeing in the ChangeLog that 3.1.5 had a pretty serious bug, I guess I'll revert to 3.1.4 for awhile. Please let me know if there is anything more you need from me to track this nasty bug down (or the other less servere one, too).

Flat export?
Hi All, How do I get the 'flat' export? Suppose I have a directory tree in the repo with the files which I want to be exported in a single directory, so the export would no create directory structure but place all the files into one directory?

Help setting up modules

Dumb question about 'cvs import' of 3rd party products...
I'm sure this must have been addressed somewhere, but I can't find it... I'm working with CVS v1.10 (Halibut). The documentation describes a procedure for importing 3rd party source code into CVS and controlling it there. The basic step is to do a 'cvs import' on the new sources for each iteration of sources gotten from the 3rd party source. The one issue that I have and don't see described is how to handle changes to the directory structure. For instance, assume a 3rd party product consisting of a single directory of source code. In release 1 of the product, the directory contains two source files (x.c and y.c). In release 2 of the product, the developer has removed y.c and added z.c. If you simply "cvs import" release 2 of the product on top of release 1, you will wind up with a directory that has three source files (x.c, y.c, and z.c). Is there a better way or a better tool for handling this? Do I have to write a script to take care of the changes? -- David Masterson * KLA-Tencor Corp. * [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Donation: cvspasswd utility
Hello all,
I was recently setting up my CVS server to add pserver access to it,
and when going through the documentation, it indicated that to set
up the cvs passwd file, you had to copy/paste the crypt'd password
into it. It lamented the fact that there was no cvspasswd utility
and hoped that it might exist some day.
Assuming that the documentation is right and the utility does not
exist, I have taken the liberty of creating a small cvspasswd
utility to cover this task. It works much like the standard unix
system passwd utility.
I would like to donate this utility to the CVS community and will
agree to release it under whatever license is appropriate for this
group.
It is written in straight C and compiles with:
gcc -Wall -o cvspasswd cvspasswd -lcrypt
