It's a university computer lab. There is some 30 computers with several
hundreds accounts. Some things are simply not possible in that
situation. Allowing users to run their own daemons would render it
unuseable.

Anyway. We are far off topic. The topic is:

To create a multi-commiter archive you only need:

 * Account for each commiter
 * A group where all the commiters belong

*AND NOTHING ELSE*

Of course you need web server if the archive should be publicaly
readable.
