If you want to use SSL with CVS then write something that looks, feels, and tastes, just like SSH or RSH, and that requires the user to point to it by setting CVS_RSH in their environment and then using "-d :ext:". That's stand-alone. Just as you could hack SSH to listen on the pserver port and use CVSROOT/passwd (though such a hack would be insecure in that it would eliminate your ability to hold users accountable), so could you devise something using SSL to do likewise. Either way CVS does nothing with security, not even answer calls on the pserver port; never runs as root; never calls setuid() or friends; etc.; and thus can never be used to subvert repository security (at least not so long as it's made plainly clear that without individually accountable unix IDs there's only a shared account and no accountability) and indeed. Obviously access to CVS on the server still ipmlies possible access to the shell, but since it'll never run as root you can chroot it much more safely. Beyond those inherent limitations all praise or blame for remote security lies solely in the external module. -- Greg A.

These directories were briefly checked into CVS because of a mistake of mine. I've since deleted them from the repository, but for one reason or another CVS kept checking out the empty directory, or perhaps, more specifically, creating admin files for them when they already existed in the workspace, despite -P being passed to cvs up.

No, I'm suggesting that if you have to rely on using non-compatible text file formats portably across some number of incompatible systems then you'd better learn to deal with their differences in some way that does *NOT* rely on your version control system! My suggestion has *ALWAYS* been to only ever store just unix-format text files in CVS (even if your repository doesn't currently sit on a proper unix-like system). How you do that is up to you. My suggested implementation has (always, iirc) been to do the conversion when reading and writing the file from/to the client filesystem and to *always* do the network communications in unix format. I think this scheme would be flawless, but it's elegance seems to escape many people. This scheme is of course easier to implement now that all of the other tools CVS uses on the client side are now integrated directly into the program However it's very important to note that such an implementation still wouldn't excuse you from learning to properly deal with the different formats outside of the version control system! FYI I'm currently re-learning Smalltalk (with Squeak) and I'm still struggling to understand why the Squeak VM doesn't always read and write native-format files by default (except for, of course, binary platform- independent files that are meant only for it to read and write). Using this as an analogy I think one should consider the CVS repository files to be a binary platform-independent file format that just happens to also be compatible with unix-format text files. -- Greg A.

The usual UNIXy thing to do to support multiple users/groups using the same lockdir is to set the sticky gid bit on the lockdir. This enables BSD style directory permission inheritance on many *nices. That's uysually accomplished through something like 'chmod g+s ' Of course if both users already have the same default group then you won't need to do this.

Re: CVS - SSH question
> My question is how to get WinCVS to work with SSH without having to > enter the password in the SSH window with every command that is executed. Following are instructions I wrote some time ago to get WinCVS and passwordless ssh working. You can find ssh-1.2.14-win32bin.zip at: http://opensores.thebunker.net/pub/mirrors/ssh/contrib/ssh-1.2.14-win32bin.zip gwen Requirements: \\hal\software\sshcliwin32\ssh-1.2.14-win32bin.zip \\hal\software\wincvs\wincvs.zip account on cvs server with proper permissions Steps: 1. Install windows command line ssh client a. unzip ssh-1.2.14-win32bin.zip anywhere (e.g. C:\ssh); make sure it is in its permanent location, as there is no setup.exe to run afterwards. b. mkdir \etc located within directory used in last step (e.g. C:\ssh\etc) c. add directory in Step 1a to %PATH% environmental variable --Note: At this point, you should be able to access the ssh.exe and scp.exe from any location using the command line. d. set %HOME% environmental variable to any location; this location should be someplace specific to the individual user (e.g. C:\home\username) e. mkdir %HOME%\.ssh (e.g. C:\home\username\.ssh) f. ssh -l username cvs_host (the next few commands will be on the unix remote host) g. ssh-keygen1 (accept default locations and when prompted for a password, leave blank) h. cat $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys i. chmod 644 .ssh/authorized_keys --Note: You will need to ensure that there are no group or other write permissions through $HOME/.ssh. If there are, passwordless ssh will not work properly. j. logout (return back to local Windows command prompt) k. cd %HOME%\.ssh l. scp username@cvs_host:.ssh/* . --Note: At this point, you should be able to log in to cvs_host without using a password. This is critical for WinCVS to operate properly. If this doesn't work, go back and make sure you did all the steps properly. 2. Install wincvs a. unzip wincvs.zip b. run setup.exe; all the default settings are fine (alternatively, you may choose to run installer from hal) c. launch wincvs.exe (it should be located under Start/Programs) d. Enter ":ext:username@cvs_host:/usr/local/cvsroot" in text box e. Select SSH server in Authentication drop box f. Press OK. g. Select Checkout Module under CVS Admin menu h. Choose an appropriate location to keep your cvs working copy (e.g. %HOME%) and press OK i. Enter the module name in text box j. Press OK k. Select %HOME% as your home directory l. Press OK --Note: At this point, you should see standard cvs checkout output printing in the white area the the bottom right. If nothing happens after a minute, you should first check if cvs_host is having problems. If the server seems okay, make sure passwordless ssh is working. If you didn't set up passwordless ssh correctly, WinCVS will not checkout files b/c it is waiting for the user to enter a password (WinCVS doesn't allow the user to interactively enter one). If those things are fine, make sure you followed the steps properly. --Note: These next steps are optional. m. Select Change browser location under View menu. n. Select working copy location. o. Press OK. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Hi, I would like to create a local cvs server which mirror another repository. I only have anonymous access to the original repository. If the files in the local repository doesn't have the same version numbers and tags, this could be ok (though this would be better)... I don't need to be able to commit to my local mirror .

This is more of an ssh question really, and might be better answered in an
ssh specific forum (say, the newsgroup comp.security.ssh).
But, one way is to use ssh-keygen to create a public/private key pair, and
put the public key on the remote side (don't use a passphrase, of course).
But this doesn't realy offer a lot of security. Anyone with physical
access can then take your private key and use it wherever they like.
I'm not sure how useful something like ssh-agent is in this case, I have
no experience with it. But maybe that's what you need.

Good point, I was assuming that the only fractional timezones would be 0 or 30, but that's easy enough to do if others exist... now 'if x < 0 then x+= 60'... Okay, the third timezone page I found actually lists some of the odd island states with 45 minute offsets for their zones, so I guess this would be the way to go. > Also, I'm not sure how > common date -u is -- a quick check here didn't turn up any systems > without it, but it's not in V7 Unix which is my touchstone for *real* > portability.

Permission denied when using CVS remotely
Hi, I've set -up CVS on our Linux system (SuSE 6.3,cvs 1.10.7). It all works fine. Now I'm trying to access the archive remotely. I try this from both a Sun (solaris 2.7, cvs 1.10.7) and NT (4.0 sp5, using the cvs version 1.11 distributed with cygwin). I get "Permission Denied" error messages when I try certain things, while it works when doing other things. Other things seem to go wrong as well. Examples: - on the SUN, a first 'cvs checkout parapet' failed to produce the parapet/CVS directory. I got a message about CVS/Entries, but unfortunately can't recall what it was (I tried it again after creating a subdirectory, and then it was there). On NT this worked fine. - The 2nd time I try the 'cvs checkout parapet' (while in the same place), I get "Permission denied" on NT. On the Sun, in the location parapet/CVS exists, I also get permission denied. In the other location, it works but get all mesasges like "cvs checkout: move away parapet/recon_test_pack/test_image_5.v; it is in the way". This is probably because the first checkout was broken. (I'm not really sure if doing a checkout twice is 'legal' though). - cd parapet;cvs update gives permission denied - cvs release parapet gives permission denied etc. Things which work: - cvs log - cvs edit, unedit What puzzles me is that some things do work. (And yes, 'rsh parapet ls' works as well). What can I do to find out what generates the 'permission denied' message? (I think a more useful error message would have been handy). screenshots from NT --- $ cvs -t checkout parapet cvs checkout: notice: main loop with CVSROOT=parapet:/usr/local/cvsroot -> Starting server: rsh parapet cvs server S-> do_module (parapet, Updating, , ) Permission denied kris@PETNT1 ~ $ cd parapet kris@PETNT1 ~/parapet $ cvs -t update cvs update: notice: main loop with CVSROOT=parapet:/usr/local/cvsroot -> Starting server: rsh parapet cvs server Permission denied $ cd .. kris@PETNT1 ~ $ cvs -t release -d parapet cvs release: notice: main loop with CVSROOT=parapet:/usr/local/cvsroot -> Starting server: rsh parapet cvs server -> run_popen(cvs -n -q -d parapet:/usr/local/cvsroot update,r) Permission denied cvs release: unable to release `parapet' $ rsh parapet pwd /home/kris Kris Thielemans ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Imaging Research Solutions Ltd Cyclotron Building Hammersmith Hospital Du Cane Road London W12 ONN, United Kingdom Phone on : +44 (020)8383 3731 FAX on : +44 (020)8383 2029 web site address: http://www.irsl.org/~kris ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
CVS and assesment
Hi, Excuse me if I'm totally off-topic; this is my first posting to this mailing-list. I wonder if anybody have som experience with using CVS to follow up work-quality, project progress, individual measurement of work amount done over specific periods of time etc, etc. I imagine a scenario where each programmer is forced to check in once a week (preferrably with a specific tag indicating that the files are possibly untested/uncompilable). Proper scripts could analyze the code regarding inter alia number of lines/words/bytes, commenting, commenting rules, coding-rules, class cohesion, method-length, class-length, parameter names, variable names, etc, etc. In addition the scripts should also take into account the state of the archive last time the scripts were run, and analyze/provide statistics about the change. Combined with a weekly/monthly submitted timeplan from the programmers, this could be a valuable tool for managers to see the overall as well as individual progress/quality. Does such analying scripts exist for the CVS archive format? -- Thomas * Copyright ERA Technology Ltd. 2001. (www.era.co.uk). All rights reserved. Confidential.
