29 Jul 2003 In this tutorial, system administrators Brian Bilbrey and Tom Syroid outline the requirements necessary to transform CVS into a secure application -- from both the server and client side of the equation -- as part of Studio B's MetroSphere project.
Prerequisites
The material presented is targeted at any competent Linux/UNIX user or system administrator. This tutorial will also be useful to anyone with a desire to learn more about the capabilities of CVS from either the client or server side of the equation. Please keep one thing in mind as you read through the content that follows: CVS has a tremendous range of options, features, and methods of implementation. Our goal here is not to provide an extensive overview to CVS, but to detail the procedures to install and configure a secure CVS server. Along the way we touch on some of the basic commands used to interact with CVS, but our coverage on this topic is by no means comprehensive or complete.
System requirements
To follow along with this tutorial, you'll need access to a system running a relatively recent version of Linux, and have root or superuser access for most of the server-side configuration steps. Although the instructions provided are based on Red Hat Linux (versions 7.3 and 8.0), the reader should have no trouble adapting the material to any current major Linux distribution.
