Contents of README:cvsd is a wrapper program for cvs in pserver mode. it will run 'cvs pserver' under a special uid/gid in a chroot jail. cvsd is run as a daemon and is controlled through a configuration file. It is relatively easy to configure and provides tools for easy setting up a chroot jail. This server can be useful if you want to run a public cvs pserver. You should however be aware of the security limitations of running a cvs pserver. If you want any kind of authentication you should really consider using secure shell as a secure authentication mechanism and transport. Passwords used in cvs pserver are transmitted in plain text. This wrapper adds a layer of security to the cvs server. cvs is a very powerful tool and is capable of running scripts and other things. Running cvs in a chroot jail it is possible to limit the amount of "damage" cvs can do if it is exploited. It is generally a good idea to run cvsd without any write permissions to any directory on the system. Features of cvsd include: * running in chroot jail * configuring chroot jail * running under a non-root uid * set a nice value * limit resource usage * limit number of connections * relatively easy to set up |
