Hi,

We currently experience problems while logging into CVS server:

[pgsql75@gunduz pgsql75]$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot co -P pgsql
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server anoncvs.postgresql.org rejected
access to /projects/cvsroot for user anoncvs

FYI...

Damn ... I'll have to look at it ... we had a hacker get in through the
way anoncvs was setup, so I set a passwd on in /etc/passwd (but didn't
touch the anoncvs setup itself) ... will play with it tonight and see if I
can figure out how to do a more secure anon-cvs ;(  I have to be missing
something in the config *sigh*

No ... anoncvs is not part of the same group as the primary cvsroot, so
not able to commit to the source tree ... the anoncvs cvsroot is a
different directory structure altogether (/projects/cvsroot vs /cvsroot),
and the anoncvs user has no write permissions on /cvsroot ...

Um, that sounds worrying.  Was the activity of the hacker anything that
would affect PG code, or access to anything sensitive (account
passwords, etc)?
