Another documentation volunteer!  The current documentation is in the
source code ;)

The slave and master cvsnt servers communicate using the :sync: protocol
- so that must be installed.  Obviously you get the 'master' repository
up and running first (which is the same as it has always been) then you
set up a slave.

On the slave you need to set (examples taken from our server with only
the physical locations and passwords changed):

'slave'
Repository0=/opt/repo/cvs
Repository0Name=/cvs
Repository0Description=CVSNT Repository mirror
Repository0Default=1
Repository0Publish=1
Repository0Online=1
Repository0Type=3
Repository0RemoteServer=cvs.cvsnt.org
Repository0RemoteRepository=/usr/local/cvs
Repository0ProxyPhysicalFiles=/var/repo/proxy
Repository0ProxyPasswdFiles=1
Repository0RemotePassphrase=&^$&(HDIDLS?
CompressionLevel=0
CertificateFile=/etc/cvsnt/secret.pem
PrivateKeyFile=/etc/cvsnt/secret.pem
AnonymousUsername=cvs
AnonymousProtocol=pserver


'master'

Repository0=/var/repo/cvs
Repository0Name=/usr/local/cvs
Repository0Description=cvsnt main repository
Repository0Default=1
Repository0Publish=1
Repository0Online=1
CertificateFile=/etc/cvsnt/brain.crt
PrivateKeyFile=/etc/cvsnt/brain.key
ServerPassphrase=&^$&(HDIDLS?
RunAsUser=woopie
AllowTrace=1
AnonymousUsername=cvs
AnonymousProtocol=pserver


These settings are also available in the Windows CVSNT Control Panel.

The 'passphrases' I believe are 'passwd' encrypted.

That's pretty much all I have.	

Regards,


Arthur
