10. Security of CVS Repository
To make a CVS server and CVS repository secure do the following:
- Run CVS on a stand-alone Linux/Unix box, see Performance Tuning.
- Remove unnecessary software packages from CVS linux box - to prevent external vandals running it. Just in case vandals break into the system, you do not want to give them a chance to run dangerous programs.
- Consider SSH as given in the chapter Multi-User Repository
- Consider Kerberos - install cvs-*-kerberos*.rpm package http://cvshome.org/dev/codelinux.html.
- Visit http://www.cvshome.org and post your security questions in the mailing list.
