cvsd-passwd(8)		     System Manager's Manual		  cvsd-passwd(8)

NAME
     cvsd-passwd - generate password entries for repositories

SYNOPSIS
     cvsd-passwd REPOS [+|-]NAME...

DESCRIPTION
     cvsd-passwd adds, updates or deletes users from repository passwd files for
     use with cvsd.

OPTIONS
     REPOS  Specify the directory in which the repository is located. This argu-
	    ment can be the top of the repository, the CVSROOT directory or even
	    the passwd file in the CVSROOT directory.

     [+]USER[:SUSER]
	    Add or update the user to the CVSROOT/passwd file.	If the user does
	    not exist a password for the user is asked and the user is added for
	    use  with  cvsd.  If the user already exists a password for is asked
	    and the password field is modified.

	    The :SUSER part can be user to change or set  mapping  to  a  system
	    user.   If you do not specify anything, a reasonable default is used
	    based upon your cvsd configuration.  If you don't want  to	map  the
	    user to any specified system user you can specify an empty SUSER and
	    use `USER:'.

     -USER  Remove the user from the CVSROOT/passwd file.

EXAMPLES
     Add an anoncvs user to access the given repository:
	 cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos +anoncvs
     If the user already exists, change the password.

     Remove a user from the repository passwd list:
	 cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos -foo

     Add  a  user  and specify that cvs should remap this user to the joe system
     user:
	 cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/myrepos joecvs:joe
     Note that the user joe should be known in the system passwd file  and  that
     cvsd should be run as root or user joe for this to work.
