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 ch-
     root 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 prede-
	    fined 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 con-
	    sistency with the  system  /etc/passwd  to	prevent  mistakes.   The
	    passwd  file  is also populated with users referenced in the reposi-
	    tory 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  li-
	    brary  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.
