Re: CVS

Huh?  Why does cvs need to be ssh?  This is going to be open source
code... why the great security lengths?

I thought one of the main benefits of CVS was the fact that people didn't
need shell access to the box in order to develop???

I don't know about you guys, but what if we go live, and we get flooded
with people willing to contribute, and we take 50 people on as site
hackers... I don't want to hand out 50 shell accounts.  Now THAT's
insecure.  

Thoughts?
