Hi,

We currently experience problems while logging into CVS server:

[pgsql75@gunduz pgsql75]$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot co -P pgsql
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server anoncvs.postgresql.org rejected 
access to /projects/cvsroot for user anoncvs

FYI...

    Damn ... I'll have to look at it ... we had a hacker get in through the 
way anoncvs was setup, so I set a passwd on in /etc/passwd (but didn't 
touch the anoncvs setup itself) ... will play with it tonight and see if I 
can figure out how to do a more secure anon-cvs ;(  I have to be missing 
something in the config *sigh*

Um, that sounds worrying.  Was the activity of the hacker anything that 
would affect PG code, or access to anything sensitive (account 
passwords, etc)?

No ... anoncvs is not part of the same group as the primary cvsroot, so 
not able to commit to the source tree ... the anoncvs cvsroot is a 
different directory structure altogether (/projects/cvsroot vs /cvsroot), 
and the anoncvs user has no write permissions on /cvsroot ...
