 A.7 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' commands, except for those specified using the
 `UserAdminOptions' configuration option in the `CVSROOT/config' file.
 Options specified using `UserAdminOptions' can be run by any user.  See
  config for more on `UserAdminOptions'.
 
    The `cvsadmin' 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'.
