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.
