cvsd.conf - configuration file for cvsd.
The file cvsd.conf contains the configuration information
for running ‘cvsd’ (see cvsd(8) ). The file contains
options, one on each line, specifying the workings of cvsd.
- RootJail
path
- This specifies the location of the chroot jail cvs should be run in. This
directory should be initialized with the cvsd-buildroot script so it
contains all the proper directories and binaries. If this option is not
present in the configuration file or a value of ‘none’
(without quotes) is specified cvsd will run in the normal file system
root.
- Uid uid
- This specifies which user id cvs should be run as. This can be a numerical
id or a symbolic value. If no uid is specified cvsd will run under the uid
it is started with.
- Gid gid
- This specifies which group id cvs should be run as. This can be a
numerical id or a symbolic value. If no gid is specified cvsd will run
under the gid it is started with.
- CvsCommand
path
- This should be set to the location where the cvs command is located. Note
that if you set up a RootJail this is relative to that directory, but
should still start with a ‘/’. If you do not define this a
default of ‘/bin/cvs’ will be used if a chroot jail has been
configured and otherwise it will be set ‘/usr/bin/cvs’.
- CvsArgs
arg...
- Additional arguments to be passed to the cvs command, in addition to the
default ones. You can pass the -R option to put cvs in read-only mode.
Note that not all options can be used in pserver mode and error messages
are not always very friendly.
- Nice
num
- This specifies the nice value (on most systems ranging from -20 to 20)
where the smaller the number (more negative) the higher the priority. If
no value is specified the nice level of the program will not be altered.
- Umask
mask
- This specifies a umask used by the cvs pserver when creating files.
Specify as an octal value. If no value is specified the default umask of
027 will be used.
- Limit resource
value
- Limits use of a certain resource to the cvs process. Note that resource
limits will be set on the executed cvs command and not for the daemon.
Resource may be one of:
- coredumpsize
- maixmum filesize of a coredump
- cputime
- maximum amount of seconds cputime consumed
- datasize
- maximum size of program's data segment
- filesize
- maximum size of files created
- memorylocked
- maximum amount of locked memory
- openfiles
- maximum number of open files (file descriptors)
- maxproc
- maximam number of processes (per user? max. children?)
- memoryuse
- maximum size of resident memory
- stacksize
- maximum stack size
- virtmem
- maximum amount of virtual memory allocated
- pthreads
- number of threads that the process may create
Note that not all systems may support all resources specified
here. If no limits are defined no extra limits will be enforced. If the
system already specified limits for processes it may not be possible to
broaden the limits.
A value (resource limit) that is a size can be specified with a suffix of
‘b’ (bytes), ‘k’ (1024 bytes) or
‘m’ (1024*1024 bytes), where ‘k’ is default.
Plain number values can also have the ‘k’ and ‘m’
suffixes, but the default is just the plain number.
Time values can be formatted as ‘mm:ss’ or have a
‘m’ or ‘s’ suffix where ‘s’ is
default.
- PidFile
file
- This specifies the location the process id of the daemon is written. If no
PidFile is specified the pid will not be written. /var/run/cvsd.pid is a
good location for a pidfile.
- Listen
address port
- This options specifies which addresses and ports cvsd should listen on for
connections. The address value can be ‘*’ (for binding all
addresses) or a symbolic (host name), dotted quad or ipv6 address. The
port value can be a numeric port number or a well known service
(‘cvspserver’). This option can be supplied multiple times.
The address and port fields can be combined in the usual ways by
separating them with a ‘:’ or a ‘.’,
optionally surrounding the address part by square brackets
(‘[’ and ‘]’).
Some examples:
# listen on all interfaces and all protocols on port 2401
Listen * 2401
# listen on IPv6 port 100
Listen :: 100
# listen on localhost
Listen localhost cvspserver
# listen on an ipv6 address
Listen [fe80::2a0:d2ff:fea5:e9f5]:2401
- MaxConnections
num
- This specifies the maximum number of connections that can be handled
simultaneously. When the value 0 (the default) is supplied no limit is
used.
- Log scheme/file
logvelel
- This option specifies the way logging is done. As first argument either
none, syslog or a file name beginning with a ‘/’ may be
specified. The second argument is optional and specifies the loglevel. The
loglevel may be one of: crit, error, warning, notice, info (default) or
debug. All messages with the specified loglevel and higher are logged.
This option can be supplied multiple times. If this option is omitted
syslog info is assumed.
- Repos
path
- This option specifies which repositories can be used. The value is passed
as a --allow-root=path parameter to cvs. The path should be relative to
the specified RootJail and should start with a ‘/’. This
option can be supplied multiple times, but should be specified at least
once.

/var/run/cvsd.pid (or other localtion) - the file where the process id is
saved
