The administrative file `config' contains various
miscellaneous settings which affect the behavior of
CVS. The syntax is slightly different from the
other administrative files. Variables are not
expanded. Lines which start with `#' are
considered comments.
Other lines consist of a keyword, `=', and a
value. Note that this syntax is very strict.
Extraneous spaces or tabs are not permitted.
Currently defined keywords are:
RCSBIN=bindir
-
Look for RCS programs in the directory
bindir, like the `-b' global option. It is
not specified whether this setting overrides the
`-b' global option or vice versa; the behavior
with respect to overrides may change in the future.
SystemAuth=value
-
If value is `yes', then pserver should check
for users in the system's user database if not found in
`CVSROOT/passwd'. If it is `no', then all
pserver users must exist in `CVSROOT/passwd'.
The default is `yes'. For more on pserver, see
section 3.9.3 Direct connection with password authentication.
