It's not terribly useful in the outside world, because it +requires a patched version of CVS which I haven't released. +.SH ANONYMOUS CVS +Suppose you want to set up a CVS repository in +.B /home/cvs/cvs +with the anonymous user +.BR anoncvs . +The following steps will get this done: +.IP " 1." +Make the directory +.B /home/cvs +owned by +.B root +with mode 755, and execute +.sp 1 +.RS 10 +.nf +.ft B +cvs -d /home/cvs/cvs init +.ft R +.fi +.RE +.IP "" +to create the repository. +.IP " 2." +Add a user +.B anoncvs +with a disabled password, shell set to +.B chrootsh +and home directory set to +.BR /home/cvs/./cvs . +.IP " 3." +As the super-user, run the following commands: +.PP +.RS 10 +.nf +.ft B +# cd /home/cvs +# mkdir -m 711 bin dev etc lib +# mkdir -m 1777 tmp +.ft R +.fi +.RE +.IP "" +You may need some other directories as well. For example, Digital Unix +users will want to make +.B shlib +and +.B sbin +for the shared library system to work properly. +.IP " 4." +Copy the programs +.BR cvs , +.B gzip +and +.B sh +into +.BR /home/cvs/bin . +If your version of +.B /bin/sh +is really the Free Software Foundation's +.B bash +in disguise (e.g., you're a Linux user) then you're probably better off +installing something lighter-weight like the FreeBSD shell (available in +a guise called +.B ash +with Debian GNU/Linux). It's smaller and doesn't need as many shared +libraries. +.IP "" +Also copy in the +.B cvssh +binary. +.IP " 5." +Copy in the shared libraries needed. If you have an +.B ldd +binary handy, run +.sp 1 +.RS 10 +.nf +.ft B +# ldd bin/* +.ft R +.fi +.RE +.IP "" +and copy in what it tells you to. Otherwise you'll have to find things +out the hard way by looking at error messages. Do any other +configuration your shared library system needs or desires here. For +example, Linux users should run +.sp 1 +.RS 10 +.nf +.ft B +# ldconfig -n -r/home/cvs /lib +.ft R +.fi +.RE +.IP "" +to make a cache file for the shared loader. +.IP " 6." +Make any devices needed in the +.B /dev +directory. For Linux, that probably involves +.sp 1 +.RS 10 +.nf +.ft B +# mknod -m666 dev/null c 1 3 +# mknod -m666 dev/zero c 1 5 +.ft R +.fi +.RE +.IP "" +Other operating systems will, of course, be different. +.IP " 7." +Edit the password and group files the +.B etc +directory. My versions are extremely minimal. The important thing is +that the +.B anoncvs +user should have an entry like the one in the main password database but +with home directory +.B /cvs +and shell +.BR /bin/cvssh . +The +.B passwd +file should contain no passwords or other useful information. Only put +other users in the files if you really feel like it. +.IP " 8." +Finishing touches. Run the command +.sp 1 +.RS 10 +.nf +.ft B +# touch cvs/.hushlogin +.ft R +.fi +.RE +.IP "" +to make sure that logging in doesn't spew junk everywhere. +Also, if you're planning on using SSH, do +.sp 1 +.RS 10 +.nf +.ft B +# mkdir cvs/.ssh +# touch cvs/.ssh/rc +.ft R +.fi +.RE +.IP "" +to make SSH stop trying to play silly games with +.BR xauth . +.IP " 9." +Relax. You're done. +.SH BUGS +None planned. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR chrootsh (8), +.BR cvs (1). +.SH AUTHOR +Mark Wooding (mdw@nsict.org)
