Topic: Newbie: Installing CVS & Firebard db on v5.5

[D. Perkins]

Hello

I've got v5.5 acting as a gateway/firewall (using 2 nics etc) and I'd like to install CVS (a version control system) and Firebird ( an open source database).  

As far as I know, these packages just listen for connections on a port. Since I only want these available to clients on the internal network and to exclude external connections how would I achieve that, or does SME Server (5.5) handle this?

TIA

David

The CVS install is easy,

check Dan York's HOW-TO
http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/cvsinstall-howto.html

If you follow this carefully your CVS will be available only on the internal network. The relevant part is:

'User access should be "Write = Group, Read = Group" and public access should be "None".'

This means that the ibay can only be seen from inside - as public access is none.

regards

Ian

I think CVS is installed by default on 5.5!

Just try: rpm -qa|grep cvs

I have firebird working fine on my SMEServers

Interbase (firebird) has been mentioned a few times on the bb, search for "interbase".

Basically just install the superserver version, for red hat

Ask here for any specific problems

Cheers
