NAME
       cvswrap	--  wrapper  over cvs to enable	fine grained access control to
       repositories

SYNOPSIS
       cvswrap [cvs options]

DESCRIPTION
       cvswrap is a program written to sit in front of cvs.   It  provides  an
       administrator with fine grained access over cvs repositories.

       On  startup  it	determines  the	CVSROOT	environment variable by	way of
       command line options, environment or by	parsing	 the  pserver  command
       stream.	 It  then reads	a config file cvswrap.conf(5) to determine the
       which wrapper to	execute.

       If the CVSROOT is not set or can	not be determined then cvs(1) will  be
       executed	normally.

       Typical usage for cvswrap is to use it to invoke	a custom wrapper which
       may  be	setgid to a special group in order to enforce ACLs over	cvs(1)
       operations.

INSTALLATION
       To make this program work one should rename the installed cvs(1)	binary
       to /usr/bin/ncvs	and install cvswrap in the location where  the	cvs(1)
       binary was.

BUGS
       The  default  install  of this program is not particulary helpful.  See
       the installation	section	for help.
