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
	      argument 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.
