In order for McLane to get access to the source code for the ESP, it was deemed that a CVS server in the DMZ with the source code rsync'd out was probably the best option. The machine prey.mbari.org was deemed as the best fit. In order to configure prey for this work, the following steps were taken:

1. Logged in a root
2. ran up2date cvs to install the cvs and received the following:

   [root@prey home]# up2date cvs
   
   Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-ia64-es-4...
   
   Fetching rpm headers...

      1:cvs                    ########################################### [100%]
   [root@prey home]# 
   

3. Created the home directory for cvs

   [root@prey home]# mkdir /home/cvs
   

4. I initialized the cvs home directory using

   [root@prey cvs]# cvs -d /home/cvs init
   

   This created the CVSROOT directory and populated it with the necessary files.

5. I then created the two cvs related groups using

   [root@prey cvs]# groupadd cvsusers
   [root@prey cvs]# groupadd cvsadmin
   

6. Created a cvs user (and group) using:

   [root@prey cvs]# groupadd cvs
   [root@prey cvs]# useradd cvs -g cvs
   

7. Added the CVSROOT environment variable by adding the following to /etc/profile

   # Export the CVSROOT directory
   CVSROOT=/home/cvs
   
   export CVSROOT
   

8. I set the cvs executable permissions so that it can be run as a service

   [root@prey bin]# chmod 2755 /usr/bin/cvs
   

9. Finally, I created the file /etc/xinetd.d/cvs and put the following in that file:

    service cvspserver
    {
            disable            = no
            socket_type    = stream
            wait                = no
            user                = cvs
            group              = cvs
            log_type          = FILE /var/log/cvspserver
            protocol          = tcp
            env                 = '$HOME=/home/cvs'
            bind                = 134.89.2.27
            log_on_failure  += USERID
            port                = 2401
            server             = /usr/bin/cvs
            server_args     = -f --allow-root=/home/cvs pserver
    }
   

10. I then rebooted prey
