myk%mozilla.org 8f043864e0 Fix for bug 169713: Added PrintHeader to a few more places that return HTML, and added a $::header_done global variable so two PrintHeader() calls cause the header to be displayed only once.

README

This is Despot, mozilla.org's system of managing users.

Maybe you'll find it useful, but for now, we're just concentrating on
developing it for our own needs.

So don't expect a lot of help from us in understanding this code...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION: 

See the Bugzilla README; you'll need to install at least MySQL, Perl,
and the MySQL-related Perl module collection as documented there.
You'll need a relatively new version of MySQL: 3.20.32a is known not
work; 3.22.32 is.

You'll may also need to build a version of CVS with the patch in
cvs_user.patch applied.  I found cvs_user.patch in archives on the
net; unfortunately I didn't keep track of where.  However, the CVS 
repository for CVS itself now has this patch applied, so if your 
copy of CVS is new enough, this may not be necessary.  

# create a database called mozusers:

mysqladmin -p create mozusers

# create the tables

./maketables.sh

# insert a user with despot powers (probably yourself) and a daemon
# user (for despot to do updates and synchronization) into the users
# table of the mozusers database.

mysql mozusers

mysql> insert users set id=1, email="dmose@mozilla.org", 
	realname="Dan Mosedale", passwd="", 
	gila_group="cvsadm", cvs_group="cvsadm", despot="Yes", 
	neednewpassword="Yes", disabled="No", voucher=1, 
	signedform="No";

# go to the webserver where you've got this set up and change the
# passwords for both of these accounts

# get anoncvs from the friedman-branch-openbsd-rel-1997-10-13
# branch.  edit as appropriate, build, and install cvspserversh.

# on the cvs servers, create a cvsadm group, and a cvsadm user in that 
# group.  they should both have a shell of cvspserversh.

# set up 2 cvs repositories, 

cvs -d /path/to/repos1 init
cvs -d /path/to/repos2 init

# create a passwd file in both CVSROOT directories and add a user in
# both places that the despotdaemon will use to do its checkins.
# the file will contain a single line that looks just like the
# following.  the first field should be an email address with @ replaced by
# %, and the second field is an already crypt()ed representation of a
# password, just like the one used in /etc/passwd.  the third field is 
# the unix group (this group needs to have write access to the
# CVSROOT/passwd files.  (don't use foo.com; use a working email address at
# your local site)

despotdaemon%foo.com:$1$2Zjkl2kjjgvGGapOsss7CLmocwX620:cvsadm

# make sure they repositories are owned by the cvsadm user
# and group.  turn on the setgid bit on all directories for appropriate
# group inheritance semantics (assuming your unix supports this).

# however.
