Configuring the CVS repository
sudo mkdir /usr/local/cvsroot/
sudo cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot/ init
or
setup environment variable:
CVSROOT=/usr/local/cvsroot
and
export CVSROOT
Password CVS access using xinetd
create a file cvspserver in /etc/xinetd.d
service cvspserver
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no user = root
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot
pserver groups = yes flags = REUSE
}
Restarting xinetd
cat /var/run/xinetd.pid and grab the id (i.e. 285)
sudo kill -HUP id (i.e. 285)
sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/IPServices/IPServices start
Create a file called passwd in /usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/
create a encrypted password:
perl -e 'print crypt "password", "sa"'
in the passwd file, put down
username:encryptedpassword
Setup client connection like this
:pserver:username@domain:/usr/local/cvsroot
then you're done!
