cvsd(8)                     System Manager's Manual                    cvsd(8)


NAME

       cvsd - chroot wrapper to run `cvs pserver' more securely.


SYNOPSIS

       cvsd [options]


DESCRIPTION

       cvsd is a wrapper program for cvs in pserver mode. it will run `cvs
       pserver' under a special uid/gid in a chroot jail.

       cvsd is run as a daemon and is controlled through a configuration file
       (see cvsd.conf(5) ). It is relatively easy to configure and tools are
       provided for easily setting up a chroot jail (see cvsd-buildroot(8) )
       and managing repositories (see cvsd-passwd(8) ).

       See the README for more information and details to setting up a chroot
       jail and repositories.


OPTIONS

       cvsd accepts the following options:

       -f, --config=FILE
              Use FILE as configfile (default is
              /usr/local/etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf).

       -d, --debug
              Enable debugging mode.  cvsd will not put itself in the
              background and sends verbose debugging info to stderr.
              Otherwise cvsd handles connections as usual.  This option is for
              debugging purposes only.

       --help Display short help and exit.

       -V, --version
              Output version information and exit.
