Hiya Since 'pserver' has a reputation for being relatively insecure (transmitting passwords in unencrypted form), I've been looking at the other protocols which cvsnt supports. My main concern is to prevent unauthorized access, but encrypting the data is important too. For various reasons I can't use 'ssh', so I've been playing with 'sserver'. Since hard and fast information on 'sserver' is hard to come by, I have a few questions which I'm hoping someone can answer for me: 1. Does 'sserver' encrypt the password when logging on to a cvs server? 2. Does 'sserver' only use encryption if 'EncryptionLevel' is set to '4'? Does setting '4' imply '3', too? 3. I created a certificate and key as described in 'InstallationLinux' section 1.9. I added references to these in PServer (CertificateFile and PrivateKeyFile), but I found I could still log into the cvs server without making the certificate available to the client. Does the client actually need a copy of the certificate, or is it all handled by the server? Regards, --Jon http://www.witchspace.com
