Thanks. I'm waiting with anticipation for 1.12.14 release to ping folks to update it on my server.

I suspect that the following patch may be what you want.
It includes some changes to sanity.sh, but does not yet
include any patches to the doc/cvs.texinfo files.

Suggested changes to the documentation for this feature
would be apprciated.

I am not sure if the changes to the primary-wrapper and
writeproxy-primary-wrapper scripts are really correct.
Previously the proot_arg was being ignored by the
rsh/ssh testing.

"cvs server" accepts, but doesn't handle --allow-root option.
This is rather critical issue for securing shell account via OpenSSH for those, who should use only cvs service and nothing more.

There are several reports about this behavior and even some patches.
http://ioctl.org/ ... unix/cvs/cvs.diff
http://lists.gnu. ... -11/msg00061.html

My host runs 1.12.9 and this restriction is not yet implemented. Do you plan to integrate it? If the answer is yes then when?

Thanks.
