Dear all, I use the Jailkit package to jail my ssh users. Very good functionality, if only... they could still access cvs, which at present they can't. Strange situation. Basically, what I would like to achieve, is that a user cannot browse to the cvs repository in their terminal window, or using an scp tool like WinSCP. Therefore I jailed them into /jail/home/<username>. The cvs repo is still at /home/cvs . But now, when they do eg cvs -d :ext:<user>@<server>:/home/cvs rls the server complains: /home/cvs : no such directory. I don't understand. I set the /etc/cvs/PServer option RunAsUser cvs (cvs being the user created for the cvs server and not jailed: it's home is still /home/cvs). It seems the server still runs as the user given in the $CVSROOT. If I move my cvs tree to the jail, users will be able to see all source code, which is not the intention... ACLs don't work for file browsing. What can I do? Thanks, Jürgen.
