RE: e-mail notification
Hi Thank you for your help so far. We are running cvs version 1.11 on linux 2.2. The cvs runs on a completely different server as the mail. We connect to the cvs repository on the linux machine using WinCvs 1.2. The mail server is a Windows 2000 machine. Now, how do I link the two? -Original Message- From: David Marshburn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 7:35 PM To: Anette van der Schyf Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: e-mail notification On Mon, 15 Jul 2002, Anette van der Schyf wrote: What do I need to get e-mail notification when a file in the repository is edited or committed by someone else? What I have done so far is the following: Because many of the users' e-mail username and cvs username differs, I created a users administrative file like the manual said I must in the CVSROOT directory. The contents look as follows: avaswegen:[EMAIL PROTECTED] lwentzel:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The notify file only has the following line: ALL mail %s -s CVS notification Then I ran the following command as a test: cvs watch add -a all Anette_test.txt One of the other users edited and committed the file, but I did not receive any notification. What am I missing? You haven't said what flavor of cvs you and your users are running, or on what platform it runs. Also, are you running with a server or just with a shared repository? If I read it correctly, the line: ALL mail %s -s CVS notification says that for all modules, find an executable called 'mail' and run it with some arguments. If you're using cvs under Windows, for instance, there may be no executable called 'mail'. An alternative we've used is to write a little script named 'mail' that contacts our department's mail server to send out the notification (but our users have to remember to put this mail script in the right place when they set up their build environment (and we run with just a shared repository and no server)). Other folks can probably tell you how to do it with a server. cheers, -david ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Can the linux server send mail to the Windows 2000 machine?
Asked another way: Assuming your script works ('mail' is in the
PATH and accepts the message for delivery), is mail waiting in the
send queue and sendmail (or whatever mail server you are using) is
unable to deliver it because it cannot resolve the address?

Ideally, it'd annotate the file in my sandbox, showing revision info for unchanged lines, and some special indicator for lines that hold my uncommitted changes. ISSUE: How to show deletions? Simply as N lines deleted, or should it show the lines themselves, a la diff -u? Failing that, I'd argue for annotating BASE -- partly by analogy with diff, but mostly because it's closer to (my) ideal than is HEAD. -- | | /\ |-_|/ Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | / Anyone who swims with the current will reach the big music steamship; whoever swims against the current will perhaps reach the source. - Paul Schneider-Esleben ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

In the minds of the super-paranoid, this introduces the risk of someone exploiting a security hole in ssh. Paranoia is good, uninformed paranoia is bad. I'll take one good secured authentication over two bad ones and a slap-together gateway. There's much less likely to be a security hole in ssh (open source, constantly reviewed code), than there is in whatever proxy gets written. I think that if you combine ssh with host-based access control, and ensure that you only allow crypto authentication, you really have nothing to worry about. ssh doesn't have unauthenticated or unencrypted modes, which is one thing that makes it really popular with the security conscious. Host based access control, on the other hand, is easily enough defeated to not be worth doing. In any case, with strong encryption and authentication (if it must be, then use password strength checkers), what bonus does host based access control give? What you can do is nest two ssh connections. You see, you can use ssh to tell one machine to execute a command on a third machine using ssh. ssh dmz-host 'ssh secure-host command' With ssh-agent forwarding, it should work. Anyway, it's worth investigating this ``proxy'' scheme. This will work if the DMZ machine permits logins and supports ssh.
