cvs readonly

[Andreas Jellinghaus <aj@dungeon.inka.de>]

someone asked me how to establish a read-only access to a cvs server.
i found a new and _very_ easy way in german unix journal :

enter an entry to CVSROOT/commitinfo
secure	/usr/local/bin/checkuid

and /usr/local/bin/checkuid :
#!/bin/sh
if {`logname` = 'cvsadmin' ]
then exit 0; fo
echo "NOTE: These sources can only be commited by cvsadmin."
exit 1

this script prevents that anyone except cvsadmin checks in new versions.
i think that a similiar setup can be used for a readonly access,
but i'm no cvs expert.

hope, this helps you.
