CVS Configuration Help

Hello,

I have read a great deal of documentation on CVS and I hope I have not overlooked what I need but I have certain issues with CVS that I cannnot resolve.

The setup for the /etx/xinetd.d file I have is as follows:

Code:

# default: off
# description: The CVS service can record the history of your source \
#              files. CVS stores all the versions of a file in a single \
#              file in a clever way that only stores the differences \
#              between versions.
service cvspserver2
{
        disable                 = yes
        port                    = 2401
        socket_type             = stream
        protocol                = tcp
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        log_type                = FILE /var/log/cvspserver2.log
        passenv                 = PATH
        server                  = /usr/bin/cvs
        env                     = HOME=/var/cvs
        server_args             = -f --allow-root=/var/SWICVS pserver
#       bind                    = 127.0.0.1
}

I do not want to cvs to run as root. Can I change users? If I can , does server_args have to change?

As well I want users to be able to access the repositories ONLY by ssh. How do I make the necessary configurations?

Thanks

cvs-switchroot

CVS-SWITCHROOT(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					 CVS-SWITCHROOT(1)

NAME

     cvs-switchroot -- change repository or tag in a cvs working copy

SYNOPSIS

     cvs-switchroot [-T] newroot [file ...]

     cvs-switchroot [-T] - srcpath [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The cvs-switchroot utility manipulates a CVS working copy directly, modifying the information stored in the administrative subdirectory and
     saving space by hardlinking if possible.

     If the -T option is given, the sticky tag is operated on, otherwise, the repository path (CVSROOT).

     The information (Tag or Root) is set to the same as in srcpath if the first non-option argument newroot is a sole dash ('-'), the literal
     value newroot otherwise.

EXAMPLES

     Change all Root information in the current sandbox to /cvs:

	  $ cvs-switchroot /cvs .

     Set all roots in the current working directory and all its subdirectories to the Root of the parent directory:

	  $ cvs-switchroot - .. .

     Hardlink the Tag information in the current working directory, for example /usr/src, and /usr/ports with each other:

	  $ cvs-switchroot -T - . . /usr/ports

SEE ALSO

     cvs(1)

HISTORY

     cvs-switchroot has existed in the MirBSD source tree since 2005.  It was added to Debian's cvs package in 2011.

CAVEATS

     cvs-switchroot depends on mksh.
