cvsdadm-0.3.1
-------------

This tool is meant to ease the administration of cvsd user accounts. It really
only makes a difference if you are using pserver. It does not do anything for
you if you are using another form of authentication for cvs such as ssh.

Cvsdadm works quite simply as a commandline tool. You pass it arguments it 
parses them and takes action. The files that cvsadm messes with are the
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/writers
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/readers

cvsdadm now supports mapping cvs users to system users. For those that might
not know, this would then enable those users to operate within cvs with the
same unix permissions as the system user.

Also there is a interactive option now. You can run cvsdadm -i and operate
interactively with cvsdadm. In addition to the usual POD documentation, you
can also use cvsdadm -h to get at what would amount to the POD. This is 
helpful for any of you who happen to not have pod2text laying around.

If you are an interactive type of person, run cvsdadm with the -i flag. This
will put you interactive mode.

If you are without pod2text or other similar utilities, running cvsdadm with
the -h flag will give you what amounts to the POD documentation. Which now
includes examples of cvsdadm usage.

As with the last version, cvsdadm.pod is a text file containing the output
of pod2text, so you could just use your favorite more or less to view it. =)


Read the INSTALL file for any details on where you might like to let
cvsdadm live on your system. We do not provide any specific install script
or Makefile because its all self contained in one file, cvsdadm. ;)

Either way, have fun.
