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.
