The sysadmin at my company says that the version of cvs-nt we are using has
many security holes and needs to be upgraded to the current version.We are
using 1.11.1.3 build 57c
1. Have there been any recent security issues in WinCVS? I saw one in the
rev. history about "14/10/02: Release 57j. Fixes a client bug that triggers
a nasty DoS in Cvs 1.11.2". I'm sort of confused by that because cvs-nt
1.11.2 has yet to exist. Er....
2. While I'm at it, we've been having terrible trouble with Norton
AntiVirus - the sysadmin insists that *both* clients & servers must run
full-time real-time scanning (groan). The CVS-NT server is crippled by
this, and I wondered if an upgrade to CVS-NT might help. (Knowing how
norton real-time devastates simple things like WinZip, I kinda doubt it,
but hey..).
