commitinfo and chrooted cvs

[Christian Kappel Jensen]

Hi!

I have set up a chrooted ssh cvs server as instructed in the
Idealx-document with cvs 1.11.1p1 on a Linux Mandrake 8.0 and almost
everything seems to work fine.

I would like to be able to use the commitinfo file to execute a script
at every commit. My commitinfo file contain the line

DEFAULT /commit.sh

However, I get the following error when I try to commit something on
the server:

cvs server: cannot exec /commit.sh: No such file or directory
cvs server: Pre-commit check failed
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

I know that it finds the commit.sh script, since an empty commit.sh
file creates another error. I have tried with variations in the script
- the simplest just trying to execute a static linked program
(actually ldd - just for test purposes) - but the above error keeps on
coming.
I use paths relative to the chrooted environment but have also tried
with absolute paths.

Has anyone succesfully used commitinfo with a chrooted cvs - and if
so, what could I be doing wrong?
