If your using CVS in a local firewall protected (not over the internet) network, you could use a non-root pserver, cvs run by a regular system user like "pserver" instead of root in inetd.conf and have only that account have any type of write access to the repository file system. If there is a way with ssh, I would like to now about it as well. Mark __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
