1cvsdadm-0.3.2
2-------------

4This tool is meant to ease the administration of cvsd user accounts. It really
5only makes a difference if you are using pserver. It does not do anything for
6you if you are using another form of authentication for cvs such as ssh.
7
8Cvsdadm works quite simply as a commandline tool. You pass it arguments it
9parses them and takes action. The files that cvsadm messes with are the
10$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd
11$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/writers
12$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/readers
13
14cvsdadm now supports mapping cvs users to system users. For those that might
15not know, this would then enable those users to operate within cvs with the
16same unix permissions as the system user.
17
18Also there is a interactive option now. You can run cvsdadm -i and operate
19interactively with cvsdadm. In addition to the usual POD documentation, you
20can also use cvsdadm -h to get at what would amount to the POD. This is
21helpful for any of you who happen to not have pod2text laying around.
22
23If you are an interactive type of person, run cvsdadm with the -i flag. This
24will put you interactive mode.
25
26If you are without pod2text or other similar utilities, running cvsdadm with
27the -h flag will give you what amounts to the POD documentation. Which now
28includes examples of cvsdadm usage.
29
30As with the last version, cvsdadm.pod is a text file containing the output
31of pod2text, so you could just use your favorite more or less to view it. =)

34Read the INSTALL file for any details on where you might like to let
35cvsdadm live on your system. We do not provide any specific install script
36or Makefile because its all self contained in one file, cvsdadm. ;)
37
38Either way, have fun.
