After the previous discussion regarding pserver, I'm
considering continuing our use of :ext:server+ssh,
but need to extend it to allow write access to
a repository that is on an internal machine behind
the firewall.
One suggestion is documented here,
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/CVS%20FAQ
under "How do I access an internal CVS server via an SSH gateway?"
The write says: "This is only for cases where you cannot
tunnel without a key." What situations is it talking about?
How would one set things to provide tunneling without a key?
IP forwarding? Changing the firewall router so that allows
direct access to the (NAT'ed) internal server's ssh port?
Not my preference.
The author suggests:
ssh -t address@hidden ssh "$@"
executed from the firewall'd host.
I'd like to change that to:
ssh -t address@hidden \
ssh "cvs server --allow-root=<path_to_cvs_root>"
to restrict the CVS repositories that this external server
can access. Is this possible? I saw patches that support this,
described here: http://ioctl.org/unix/cvs/
that support this feature, but am wondering if cvs 1.11.22
supports this feature?
thanks,
- Gary
