Sounds promissing, although I am not sure hacking sshd is the best thing.

I would really appreciate having a real shell account instead, a-la
SourceForge. With access to the web pages too. We needed to setup an
external arch-to-cvs gateway just to edit the web pages, this is painful.

If the intention is to make it impossible for a user to remove the arch
project history, then daily backups may be a good solution.

Anyway, I tried to use the instructions, and here are the results:

  % tla register-archive sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/archives/administration
  Registering archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  % tla categories [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  arch-subsystem
  arch-webpage

  % tla abrowse [EMAIL PROTECTED]/arch-subsystem
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    arch-subsystem
  sftp status: Permission denied

Is this intentional, or just something missing in the sshd hack? :)
Also, the archives are created without 'make-archive --listing' option.

  tla register-archive -f http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/administration/
  webdav error: 404 Not Found

If the intention is to allow anonymous access to the archives, you may
add =meta-info/http-blows to existing archives and run 'archive-fixup'.

I hope this message is helpful.

Regards,
Mikhael.
