Linux CVS Access Control

What is the best approach to implement access control in CVS repositories hosted on a Linux server? The goal is to prevent developers from accidentally deleting modules. Developers should be able to perform all other CVS activities.

CVSACL is a patch for CVS. It adds two new subcommands (acl and racl) to cvs to manage the ACL.

Use SSH access: howto cvs-ssh , another guide



Also looks like you are trying to give them a shell? And access to the file system of the CVS repository? If so, this is optional. They don't need access to the repo filesystem to do all the standard CVS actions.

mount ro? No, but seriously, if you're preventing a module from being deleted, there is still nothing stopping them from deleting the contents of the module, so I don't quite understand the question. What exactly should they be doing?
