/etc/cvsnt/PServer - CVSNT Server and Lock Server configuration file

The PServer file is the configuration file for CVSNT if it is used as server and, to some extent, also for cvslockd(1), the CVSNT lock server.

RepositoryX=<directory>

Define the directory where your repository X is located. X is the number of your repository (you can have more than one repository), usually starting with 0.

RepositoryXName=<name>

Define the name of your repository X. This is the name that the clients need to set in their $CVSROOT. So, for example, if your repository is located at /var/lib/cvs, and the name is set to /cvs, the $CVSROOT looks like: :protocol:user@server:/cvs

RepositoryXDescription=<description>

A short description of your repository X.

RepositoryXDefault=0|1

Set the repository X as the default repository.

Note: Exactly one repository must set this flag to 1, all others need to set it to 0.

RepositoryXPublish=0|1

Publish repository X using Zeroconf.

RepositoryXOnline=0|1

Set a repository (temporarily) on- or offline setting this flag to 1 or 0 respectively.

EncryptionLevel=0|1|2|3|4

0 = Don't force encryption

1 = Request authentication

2 = Request encryption

3 = Require authentication

4 = Require encryption

CompressionLevel=0|1|2

0 = Don't force compression

1 = Request compression

2 = Require compression

CertificateFile=/etc/ssh/cvsnt.pem

PEM certificate for use with sserver

PrivateKeyFile=/etc/ssh/cvsnt.pem

PEM certificate for use with sserver

NoReverseDns=0|1

Disable Reverse lookups by the server to help broken DNS setups. This causes LockServer to report bare IP addresses. It is recommended that the DNS is fixed rather than using this option.

LockServer=<host>:<port>

Default lock server host and port. Can be overridden by LockServer directive in individual repositories.

LockServerLocal=0|1

If enabled lockserver only listens on local machine for connections (default).

CompatX_OldVersion=0|1

Pretend to be a Unix CVS version (1.11.1). Keeps some picky frontends happy (eg. Eclipse).

X = 0 - Legacy cvs (cvshome.org cvs, eclipse)

X = 1 - cvsnt (cvsnt client, wincvs, tortoisecvs, etc.)

CompatX_HideStatus=0|1

Hide extended stats/log information (mergepoints, commit ids, etc.).

X = 0 - Legacy cvs (cvshome.org cvs, eclipse)

X = 1 - cvsnt (cvsnt client, wincvs, tortoisecvs, etc.)

CompatX_OldCheckout=0|1

Implement the old '-n update' behaviour.

X = 0 - Legacy cvs (cvshome.org cvs, eclipse)

X = 1 - cvsnt (cvsnt client, wincvs, tortoisecvs, etc.)

CompatX_IgnoreWrappers=0|

Ignore and cvswrappers/-W commands generated by the client.

X = 0 - Legacy cvs (cvshome.org cvs, eclipse)

X = 1 - cvsnt (cvsnt client, wincvs, tortoisecvs, etc.)

WinbindWrapper=/usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp

Enable SSPI server functionality by using the winbind authentication wrapper.

Chroot=/usr/local/cvs-jail
