I should certainly hope not.

That would be an additional security risk on top of a major security problem.

Please consider switching to SSH.

Any plan to merge cvspwd into cvs?

2002-05-02 Thread Ben Kial

I have been using "cvspwd" to manage my CVS user accounts in
my :pserver host so that I don't have to create Unix accounts for
each CVS user. However, "cvspwd" can only be executed by the
repository owner, which means each CVS user cannot change
their own password...

Is there any plan from the CVS team to include "cvspwd" into future
releases of CVS and have a "cvs passwd" command for users to
manage their own passwords?
