cat << EOF
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. It is
relatively easy to configure and tools are provided for setting up a
rootjail.
This server can be useful if you want to run a public cvs pserver.
You should however be aware of the security limitations of running a
cvs pserver. If you want any kind of authentication you should really
consider using secure shell as a secure authentication mechanism and
transport. Passwords used in cvs pserver are transmitted in plaintext
and this wrapper won't change that.
This server adds a layer of security to cvs. cvs is a very powerful
tool and is capable of running scripts and other things. By running cvs
in a rootjail it is possible to limit the amount of "damage" cvs can do
if it is exploited. It is generally a good idea to run cvsd without any
write permissions to any directory on the system.
