Hi: At my company we have a CVS repository set up at location A. We have people that need to be able to commit to the repository at location B. We also have people that need to be able to retrieve data from the repository at location C. The problem I encountered when setting this up is that everyone needed to have an account at location A to access CVS. (This limitation is probably because we use the 'cvs -d remotehost' method and rsh to access the repository.) This was tolerable for IT. Then we discovered that not only did they need accounts at A, they needed to belong to the 'cvs' group. Even those at location C because performing a remote update did a lock on the repository and they needed permissions to do the lock. I know there has to be a way to do an anonymous cvs implementation where people can get files remotely (it is done everyday at source forge). Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to do this? Also, for those that need to have commit privilages, can this be done via password or some other authentication and not require them to have an account at location A?
