245
* all configuration is done from a configuration file

248
249
changes from 0.8b2 to 0.8b3
250
---------------------------
251
252
* cvsd.h was missing. added.
253
254
255
changes from 0.8b1 to 0.8b2
256
---------------------------
257
258
* added user `cvsadmin' wit password `cvsadmin' to ``system'' passwd
259
file (/etc/passwd in the cvsd-root). this user is allowed to
260
read write all repositories (if not denied by a cvs mechanism like
261
the readers file)
262
* bad permissions on some dirs. all dirs (and files) now belong to cvsadmin.
263
hmm.. what do you think?
264
* a major bug fix: memory allocation problem (which somehow only
265
is a problem if you have a lot of CVSROOTs). fixed.
266
* some bugs in the Makefile, bad permissions, bad shell for su command,
267
and some others.
268
269
270
changes from 0.7 to 0.8b1
271
-------------------------
272
273
* cvsd.c: not much of the original sources (0.6) remained. almost everything
274
is rewritten and overthought.
275
* cvsd now aborts if there isn't any valid CVSROOT in the config file.
276
* simplified config file and introduced command line options
277
Why should one specify the uid, gid and cvsd-root in the config file?
278
Such things don`t change frequently and perhaps the sysop wants to
279
allow other people adding/removing repositories. So:
280
--uid or -u specifies the uid cvs will run as. has default.
281
--gid or -g specifies the gid cvs will run as. has default.
282
--root or -r specifies the cvsd-root (where to chroot). NO default.
283
--config -f specifies the config file (i.e. list of allowed
284
repositories). has default.
285
--verbose turns on verbose logging (to syslog). if set cvsd
286
reports about everything. also the flag -t is passed
287
to cvs which means 'trace' and enables more verbose
288
working of cvs pserver.
289
--help prints help screen (to stdout!)
290
--version prints version information (to stdout!)
291
* logging: cvsd almost only reports via the syslog LOG_DAEMON facility. it
292
uses priority LOG_INFO for informational things and LOG_ERR for errors.
293
if !verbose and no errors occurred (i.e. suspicious directory mode) cvsd
294
only reports `connection mad.' to syslog and then passes over to cvs.
295
* permission checks: cvsd now checks for proper mode on several
296
files/directories. in general uid/gid needs to be those of the cvsd user
297
and there may not be any bits set for the other user. furthermore the w bit
298
for the group mustn't be set and no file (or dir) may be a symlink. see the
299
#defines in cvsd.c for details.
300
- the cvsd-root
301
- the /etc/passwd file (relative to cvsd-root, of course)
302
- the /bin/cvs file
303
- every directory listed in /etc/cvsd.conf. bad dirs will be ignored.
304
* 0.7 was c++, 0.8 is c again.
305
* hey gurus, what do you think? is this worth something?
306
don't hesitate: phkehl@gmx.net
307
* Makefile / Installation
308
- nicer `make user' and `make group'
309
- there's an (empty) example CVSROOT (mad by `make install')
310
* the name is /example and there are two users:
311
* user example with password example who may read and write (import and such)
312
* user cvsread with password cvsread who has read-only access (this is
313
* done via the normal cvs pserver mechanism, i.e. cvsread is listed in
314
/example/CVSROOT/readers
315
316
317
changes from 0.6 to 0.7
318
-----------------------
319
320
* cleaner config file and cleaner
