Checking out only files NEWER than given date/revision
Hi all. I've got somehow unusual problem. I need to checkout from my repository files that have been modified _after_ some date or have revision number _greater_ than given. And no others. In other words I want to check out HEAD revision of the files that have been modified lately and I want to discard files that have been created upon module creation, but have not been modified during development. As far as documentation states I can checkout files modified _before_ given date, but as some would say: It is _almost_ the thing I want to do. I've tried to search the web and archives of this list -- with no success. Either I cannot form a proper querry or no one had dealt with such a problem yet. Of course, I could manually delete unwanted items (bleeehh!...) or write a Perl/Bash script that will parse Entries file from CVS dir and delete apropriate contents. But I keep that in reserve. Thanks for any hints about that (or pointer to a place in the Web/group archive). Alek ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

You should run ``cvs init'' when upgrading -- it will preserve your current administrative files (theoretically, it could update them to a new format, but that's never been needed) and add any new ones. It actually does a fresh checkout of all of the administrative files (just like a commit to the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT directory does), so if the administrative files ever get out of sync with the repository, it's an easy way to get them back in sync. -Larry Jones My upbringing is filled with inconsistent messages. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Fw: need to force username of cvs 'action' when using shared SSH account
I'm making a great efford not to be sarcastic in this response. There's a genuine argument to be made here and I hope that there may be one or two readers who can be convinced by reasonable debate. I'm not interested in just having an argument, but in making a case. Greg Woods wrote: I just cannot possibly ever even conceive of anyone using a shared SSH account. Since Jennifer Vesperman, the author of Essential CVS, I and a few other posters obviously can conceive of such a thing I respectfully suggest this comment demonstrates a lack of imagination. The very concept is entirely antithetical to the goals of SSH and computing security in general. With a shared SSH account you have a complete audit trail of who logged in when. No passwords are involved at all, even encrypted. This gives a far higher degree of security than passwords would. You have the ability to prevent users changing their environment to prevent subversion of any restrictions you might want to place on the account. You have the ability to specify *exactly* what command gets executed. And you can use this from an account running a restricted shell (recommended for applications like CVS which make no claims to implement a security model -- please correct me if I am wrong about this). If you have very high security requirements you could even do this from a CHROOTed environment. Please explain how any of these capabilities are antithetical to the goals of SSH. Because I genuinely don't see how. You may as well just use pserver in the clear and be very explicit and forthright about your total lack of security. [[ And yes, I do intend that comment to be very sarcastic. ]] I still maintain and believe I have demonstrated that you can do better than that using a shared ssh mechanism. Perhaps it would be easier to comprehend if we dropped the word account and its baggage of associations from the discussion. Perhaps a better way of thinking about it is extablishing a public-key authentication mechanism to allow precisely controlled access to a resource.

I have a web project which encompasses a few portals; there are essentially 4 sites, each of which uses some common code, some private code.

Re: Fw: need to force username of cvs 'action' when using shared SSH account

There's a genuine argument to be made here and I hope that there may be one or two readers who can be convinced by reasonable debate. I'm not interested in just having an argument, but in making a case. There is no genuine argument here whatsoever. There is only very serious and fundamental mis-understanding of the basic premises surrounding computing security. Greg Woods wrote: I just cannot possibly ever even conceive of anyone using a shared SSH account. Since Jennifer Vesperman, the author of Essential CVS, I and a few other posters obviously can conceive of such a thing Then y'all apparently don't realize that what you're trying to accomplish simply cannot ever possibly be done in the way you've proposed it. I respectfully suggest this comment demonstrates a lack of imagination. Until and unless you pay attention to the very basic requirements of computing security then you're only living in your own imagination and what you believe to be true has no foundation in the real world whatsoever. I.e. you have no ground to stand on. With a shared SSH account you have a complete audit trail of who logged in when. NO, you most definitely DO NOT. That's the very nature of the word shared here. In order to have accountability in any computing system there must be a unique internal identifier (username) for every human user. In order to have integrity of audit trails these identifiers _must_ be unique at the OS level. That means having separate SSH accounts for every individual human user (as well as of course having strong identification and authentication mechanisms). So, until you get these basics done right all you've got is a big steaming stinking pile of unnecessary complexity and a false sense of security where there is NONE whatsoever. If you don't fully understand and work within the basic security model of the host OS you're running your applications on then you're never really going to get anywhere useful in terms of your security requirements. Please explain how any of these capabilities are antithetical to the goals of SSH. Because I genuinely don't see how. SSH is designed to facilitate secure access to a multi-user POSIX-compatible system in a way that works with the security model provided by such a system. However if it is not used in a secure manner then it provides no real security whatsoever. You may as well just use pserver in the clear and be very explicit and forthright about your total lack of security. I still maintain and believe I have demonstrated that you can do better than that using a shared ssh mechanism. No, you most certainly cannot ever do any better than pserver with anything using a shared account and you are only fooling yourself (and those you've convinved to listen to you) if you think otherwise. You are continuing to ignore or misunderstand the underlying OS security model here, and you are still trying to misuse it. -- Greg A.
