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

NAME
       cvsd-buildroot -	create a chrooted directory structure for use in cvsd.

SYNOPSIS
       cvsd-buildroot DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION
       cvsd-buildroot  creates and populates a directory that can be used as a
       chroot jail for running cvsd (see cvsd(8) ) in.

       This script should be run as  the  root	user  since  the  creation  of
       devices and the changing	of ownership and permissions require this.

       The script gives	warnings about files that it's not expecting.

       cvsd-buildroot creates the following directory structure:

       /bin   This directory is	populated with the cvs binary that is found on
	      the system.

       /lib   This  directory  is  populated  with  all	the libraries that are
	      required for running programs in the /bin	directory as  well  as
	      some  predefined	required  libraries  that  are	present	on the
	      system.

       /dev   Here null	and zero devices are created.

       /etc   In this directory	a passwd file is  created  that	 is  used  for
	      matching	user  id's  with usernames. The	root and cvsd user are
	      added to this file if they're not	there yet.  The	passwd file is
	      checked for consistency with the system /etc/passwd  to  prevent
	      mistakes.	   The	passwd	file  is  also	populated  with	 users
	      referenced in the	repository directories.	 Note that no password
	      data from	/etc/passwd  or	 any  other  file  is  stored  in  the
	      generated	passwd file, all password entries are set to `x'.

       /usr   Here  symbolic links are placed to /bin and /lib for some	common
	      library and binary directories found on  the  system.   This  is
	      done for systems that have hard-coded paths for libraries.

       /libexec	and /usr/libexec
	      Symbolic	links  for  these  directories are created if they are
	      present on the system.

       /tmp   This directory is	cleaned	out on systems that have tmpreaper.

       After the directories are created and populated	ownership  and	rights
       are set to a reasonable value (root:root,umask=022).

OPTIONS
       cvsd-buildroot  takes  one  argument,  namely  a	directory in which the
       chroot jail will	be created. The	directory should be specified with  an
       absolute	path.

NOTES
       Creating	 a  chroot  environment	is a terribly non-portable thing to do
       and therefore you may experience	problems with  missing	libraries  and
       system files.  For more information see the FAQ and the README.	If you
       have   to   install   libraries	or  perform  actions  not  covered  by
       cvsd-buildroot	 please	   report    your    findings	 to	<cvsd-
       users@lists.arthurdejong.org>.

       Rerunning  cvsd-buildroot  after	 you  have  created your repository is
       advised since the repositories are checked for references  to  userid's
       and lockfile directories.
