FreeBSD donkey.lan.raisdorf.net 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #4: Wed Oct 24 17:34:47 CEST 2001 hscholz@donkey.lan.raisdorf.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/DONKEY i386
>Description:
The net/cvsup-mirror port by default creates two new users: cvsup and cvsupin.
The update.sh script writes the files as ${cuser} which is cvsupin.
The cvsupd runs as cvsup. Due to the 750 permissions of the cvs directories (/home/ncvs/* by default) the user cvsup cannot change into these directories leading to the following error when trying to use the cvsupd:
[...]
Nov 27 18:45:54 dionysus cvsupd[792]: Cannot open "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs/ports/audio/bladeenc/files/patch-ad,v": Permission denied
[...]
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the net/cvsup-mirror port, run /usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh to update your repositories and then try to access your server with
cvsup.
>Fix:
This could be fixed by adding the user cvsup to the cvsupin group in /etc/group.
The make_account() function in pkg-install should be modified to
issue 'pw groupmod cvsupin -m cvsup' if needed.
