NAME

       cvsd - chroot wrapper to run ‘cvs pserver’ more securely.

SYNOPSIS

       cvsd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       cvsd  is  a  wrapper  program  for  cvs in pserver mode. it will run ‘cvs pserver’ under a
       special uid/gid in a chroot jail.

       cvsd is run as a daemon and is controlled through a configuration file  (see  cvsd.conf(5)
       ).  It  is  relatively  easy  to  configure and tools are provided for easily setting up a
       chroot jail (see cvsd-buildroot(8) ) and managing repositories (see cvsd-passwd(8) ).

       See the README for  more  information  and  details  to  setting  up  a  chroot  jail  and
       repositories.

OPTIONS

       cvsd accepts the following options:

       -f, --config=FILE
              Use FILE as configfile (default is /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf).

       -d, --debug
              Enable  debugging  mode.   cvsd  will  not  put  itself in the background and sends
              verbose debugging info to stderr.  Otherwise cvsd  handles  connections  as  usual.
              This option is for debugging purposes only.

       --help Display short help and exit.

       -V, --version
              Output version information and exit.
