You could probably use methods from Joey Hess's "Anonymous CVS access via ssh" at http://www.kitenet.net/~joey/sshcvs/ or "Chrooted SSH CVS server HOW-TO" by Olivier Berger and Olivier Tharan at http://www.idealx.org/en/doc/chrooted-ssh-cvs-server/chrooted-ssh-cvs-server... What degree of security that gives is an open question, in my opinion. You may find that GNU Arch is more suited to "bazaar" development, giving all developers a local revision control copy to use, without needed blessing of a central authority, which can be published to http, sftp or ftp spaces. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know Creative copyleft computing - http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ LinuxExpo.org.uk village 6+7 Oct http://www.affs.org.uk
