admin--Administration
=====================

   * Requires: repository, working directory.

   * Changes: repository.

   * Synonym: rcs

   This is the CVS interface to assorted administrative facilities.
Some of them have questionable usefulness for CVS but exist for
historical purposes.  Some of the questionable options are likely to
disappear in the future.  This command _does_ work recursively, so
extreme care should be used.

   On unix, if there is a group named `cvsadmin', only members of that
group can run `cvs admin' (except for the `cvs admin -k' command, which
can be run by anybody).  This group should exist on the server, or any
system running the non-client/server CVS.  To disallow `cvs admin' for
all users, create a group with no users in it.  On NT, the `cvsadmin'
feature does not exist and all users can run `cvs admin'.
