Hello

I'm trying to setup a secure anonymous CVS account, like what
anoncvs.netbsd.org does. That is, I want that anybody can access
the anoncvs repository by using (no pserver):

CVS_RSH=ssh and CVSROOT=:ext:anoncvs@myserver:/home/cvsroot

And checkout modules. I've tried it, but the problem arises because
anybody can use the anoncvs user to do scp, ssh... and I don't want
this behavior. I've tried a ssh to anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org, which
has refused connection, as expected.

So my question is... how can I setup this kind of server (so ssh
allows only the use of cvs)? Which permissions do /home/cvsroot/*
need?

Thanks a lot.
