<title>Perks of the Job</title>

<term>Direct access to <hostid>cvsup-master</hostid></term>
<listitem>
<para>As a committer, you may apply to &a.jdp; for direct access
to <hostid role="fqdn">cvsup-master.FreeBSD.org</hostid>,
providing the public key output from <command>cvpasswd
<replaceable>yourusername</replaceable>@FreeBSD.org
cvsup-master.FreeBSD.org</command>. Access to
<hostid>cvsup-master</hostid> should not be over-used as it is
a busy machine.</para>
