Hi,
I got the great hint of using a tool called userv together with
subversion. This sounds really good to me. userv is a tool that gives
the opportunity of running a program as another user. To be honest
this sounds like sudo, but userv is supposed to be more secure since
it is running as a daemon. But in fact the solution would probably
even work with sudo as well.
Noew the guy explains how he did get it to run on the following link:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/svn.html#S2
I did actuallay get userv to run. Now there is stated the following
on that link:
<Remote access, of course, is still via ssh, only instead of running
‘ssh remote-host svnserve’, you now have to run ‘ssh remote-host
userv simon-svn svnserve’. But Subversion makes it easy to configure
strange remote access methods (by adding entries in the [tunnels]
section in the .subversion/config file), so that wasn't a problem.>
How is this supposed to work? Reading about tunnels in the subversion
book and also the explanation withing the config file tells me that
if I create a new schema, lets call it userv, an dtell ist to execute
"userv user svnserve" then svn will call the following:
userv user svnserve hostname svnserve -t
Well this is not what I want. It is supposed to run a different
command on the server side, but this doesn't seem to be configurable,
is it? How did he get this managed?
Any ideas?
Timo
