NAME
cvsd-passwd - generate password entries for repositories SYNOPSIS
cvsd-passwd REPOS [+|-]NAME... DESCRIPTION
cvsd-passwd adds, updates or deletes users from repository passwd files for use with cvsd. OPTIONS
REPOS Specify the directory in which the repository is located. This argument can be the top of the repository, the CVSROOT directory or even the passwd file in the CVSROOT directory. [+]USER[:SUSER] Add or update the user to the CVSROOT/passwd file. If the user does not exist a password for the user is asked and the user is added for use with cvsd. If the user already exists a password for is asked and the password field is modified. The :SUSER part can be user to change or set mapping to a system user. If you do not specify anything, a reasonable default is used based upon your cvsd configuration. If you don't want to map the user to any specified system user you can specify an empty SUSER and use 'USER:'. -USER Remove the user from the CVSROOT/passwd file. EXAMPLES
Add an anoncvs user to access the given repository: cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos +anoncvs If the user already exists, change the password. Remove a user from the repository passwd list: cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos -foo Add a user and specify that cvs should remap this user to the joe system user: cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos joecvs:joe Note that the user joe should be known in the system passwd file and that cvsd should be run as root or user joe for this to work.

NAME
cvsd-buildroot - create a chrooted directory structure for use in cvsd. SYNOPSIS
cvsd-buildroot DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION
cvsd-buildroot creates and populates a directory that can be used as a chroot jail for running cvsd (see cvsd(8) ) in. This script should be run as the root user since the creation of devices and the changing of ownership and permissions require this. The script gives warnings about files that it's not expecting. cvsd-buildroot creates the following directory structure: /bin This directory is populated with the cvs binary that is found on the system. /lib This directory is populated with all the libraries that are required for running programs in the /bin directory as well as some predefined required libraries that are present on the system. /dev Here null and zero devices are created. /etc In this directory a passwd file is created that is used for matching user id's with usernames. The root and cvsd user are added to this file if they're not there yet. The passwd file is checked for consistency with the system /etc/passwd to prevent mistakes. The passwd file is also populated with users referenced in the repository directories. Note that no password data from /etc/passwd or any other file is stored in the generated passwd file, all password entries are set to 'x'. /usr Here symbolic links are placed to /bin and /lib for some common library and binary directories found on the system. This is done for systems that have hard-coded paths for libraries. /libexec and /usr/libexec Symbolic links for these directories are created if they are present on the system. /tmp This directory is cleaned out on systems that have tmpreaper. After the directories are created and populated ownership and rights are set to a reasonable value (root:root,umask=022). OPTIONS
cvsd-buildroot takes one argument, namely a directory in which the chroot jail will be created. The directory should be specified with an absolute path. NOTES
Creating a chroot environment is a terribly non-portable thing to do and therefore you may experience problems with missing libraries and system files. For more information see the FAQ and the README. If you have to install libraries or perform actions not covered by cvsd-buildroot please report your findings to <cvsd-users@lists.arthurdejong.org>. Rerunning cvsd-buildroot after you have created your repository is advised since the repositories are checked for references to userid's and lockfile directories. SEE ALSO
