Re: [Sandweb-users] Unix Permissions

[Robert H. <ro...@ro...>]

Hi Frank,


That does correspond to a Unix username/password, for SSH.
I recommend SSH over using "local", which would use
the web server user's permissions for everything.

SandWeb does something along these lines:

--
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -d :ext:rhelmer@host:/cvs <cvs command>
--

I have created a Unix authentication method, which uses
SSH or RSH to verify usernames/passwords instead of using
SandWeb's "flatfile" authentication. This requires turning
off MD5 on the login screen though, and it's not all working
together yet. It's checked into the SandWeb CVS if you 
want to play with it.

If the CVS server is on localhost SSH can be somewhat slow
if you have alot of users.
I am working on RSH support for SW 1.1, but it is pretty easy
to modify the sandweb-expect and sandweb-ssh scripts to use
RSH.



Thanks,
Rob
