SSH and CVS

[Zdenek Rykala]

Hi All,

    I would like allow cvs users, use ssh connection with our Unix
server. The problem is that default shell for users on the unix
machine is /usr/bin/passwd. The users can change only password for ftp
and e-mail account.

    What cvs is doing when it's using SSH login?
    CVSROOT=cvsuser@<cvs server>:/<cvs repository>
    CVS_RSH=ssh

    It's working only whan I allow <cvsuser> full shell (/bin/bash) in
passwd. Does exist some better way, how can I configure our Unix
server? I do not want allow cvs users the full shell. I tried it with
restricted shell (rbash), but without any success.

Thanks for any information,
  Zdenek
