Re: CVS under RedHat 7.2

[Gianni Mariani]

The cvs client IS also the server.

Classic case of RTFM.

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#IDX79

However - RH uses 'xinetd' which takes somthing like the following:

*** make sure you use your own --allow-root specification***

------snip---------
# default: on
# description: The cvspserver provides support for cvs network 
connections \
#       unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service cvspserver
{
      flags           = REUSE
      socket_type     = stream             
      wait            = no
      user            = root
      passenv         = PATH
      server          = /usr/bin/cvs
      server_args     = -f --allow-root=/cvssrc/main/cvsroot pserver
      log_on_failure  += USERID
}
----- snip ------

placed in

/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver

and then run

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart (or HUP it or somthing)

RH comes with everything to run a cvs shop oob.
