Yes. Server: stock CVS on Redhat 7.2, access through ssh with public key authentication. I create user accounts as needed and copy public keys to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys files. Oh, and I installed viewcvs under apache because some users find it useful. Linux clients: stock CVS and ssh. Windows clients: TortoiseCVS, with PuTTY for the ssh access. > Can someone recommend a combination that runs stable.

Like I said, I just used the stock binaries that came with my boxes. This is not a big team and software development is not our primary function by a long shot, so we're not exactly stress-testing the setup. The RH 7.2 dates from my starting day. I know it looks old now, but it still works fine. This is on an intranet, so I don't have to be too paranoid about security. The apache is probably the biggest hole ! At my previous job we had a Linux server and various clients with a small but very active team (as in: update three times a day or you'll be left behind). As far as I know the server was whatever Redhat release was current at the time and the CVS was the stock install. Worked fine. -- pa at panix dot com _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
