Thanks very much for the comment (and to Julian), I'll keep myself away from pserver. My goal is to have a way to publish half-public source code to 20 or so people, without giving them an account on my machine. (they won't make changes to my repository) Options seems to be as follows, but I don't know which is good/bad. - cvs pserver (should stay away from this) - anonymous cvs + some modification (how to set it up? OpenBSD people uses this to keep them in sync) - cvsupd + some modification (current version has no authentication, it seems) - give an account (say, "mygroup") to them and use rsh/ssh Please let me know your opinion. Thanks! itojun
