can't use cvsspam with cvs-1.11.22-5

[VladimirPoopen]

In relation to using cvsspam, the following line in commitinfo results in an error

When I add:
# Always allow commits to CVSROOT

^CVSROOT /bin/cat>/dev/null

The error I get:
cvs server: cannot find pre-commit filter `/bin/cat>/dev/null': No such
file or directory
cvs server: Pre-commit check failed

Fedora Core 8 had a similar issue
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447595

After the above fails, I have to log in, sudo su -  and edit commitinfo and commitinfo,v in order to get things working again

The commitinfo is not a general purpose shell script itself.
You may find it desirable to use

cat <<EOF > CVSROOT/devnull.sh
#!/bin/sh
exec /bin/cat > /dev/null
EOF
chmod +x CVSROOT/devnull.sh

and then use

^CVSROOT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/devnull.sh

in your commitinfo.
