EXAMPLES
In the following examples % is the command prompt. A short description
following the example describes whats going on in each.
% cvsdadm-i
This will start cvsdadm's interactive user menu. This will allow the
user to perform cvsdadm functions interactively.
% cvsdadm-q -u username
Allows the user to query the cvs repositories
% cvsdadm-C -R ./Ports
The above will create all the repository files in Ports directory but
not the Ports directory itself.
% cvsdadm-C -[adkeq] -u you -p password -R Ports
The above have two behavior. First, it will create the repository if it
not already created. Second if the repository is created but some files
are missing, it will create these files before any -adkeq operations.
No file will be overwritten, so -C is not dangerous for your existing
repository!
% cvsdadm-i -C
The above is the same as the previous one but will work in interactive
mode
% cvsdadm-a -u username -p userpasswd -R /repos -w
The above will add username with userpasswd to the cvs repository
located at /repos with writers priviledges.
% cvsdadm-a -u username -p userpasswd -s systemusername -R /repos -w
The above will add username with userpasswd mapped to systemusername in
cvs repository /repos with writers priviledges.
NOTE: The above two commands can be executed with -r as well, instead
of -w. If executed with -r, the cvs users priviledges will be that of a
cvs repository reader rather than writer.
% cvsdadm-k -u username -R /repos
This kills the cvs user username in the cvs repository /repos. Their
cvs account will no longer exist after this command is issued.
% cvsdadm-e -u username -R /repos
This command re-enables a disabled cvs user in cvs repository /repos.
% cvsdadm-d -u username -R /repos
This command disables a cvs user in cvs repository /repos.
% cvsdadm-l
This command will print a listing of all CVS user. If you want a full
listing of CVS user you could make this command in a for loop like the
example below (rc shell)
% for ( i in `{cvsdadm -l ⎪grep -v '>')} {cvsdadm -q -u $i}
% cvsdadm-h
This command will display some cvsdadm help.
