The source is at git://github.com/gaffo/scumd. The impetus behind SCuMD is to provide a highly configurable git daemon which can authenticate and authorize off of flat files, databases, LDAP, web services, or any other resource you can think of. SCuMD's other goal is to remove the need to serve off of normal sshd which some find to be a security risk on the open Internet. Currently SCuMD supports LDAP as the authentication module but coding other modules is quite simple. I would welcome any feedback including a better name. SCuMD stands for SCM Daemon. Thanks, Mike Gaffney ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2009-08-12 20:26 Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Scumd Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m3ws58ok1r.fsf%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: <4A8309D9.8070008@gmail.com> ``` Michael Gaffney writes: > This is an initial announcement of SCuMD, a pure java git sshd > daemon.

Could you add information about this tool to Git Wiki: http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools perhaps below entry for gitosis?

I just wonder: how is your creation less of security risk than sshd? ```
