Setting up CVS

• Create a CVS group in /etc/group
• Set the members
• Install the CVS package, using rpm, pkgadd, whatever.
• Create a directory to use as CVSROOT. For example, /usr/cvsroot
• Add this line to /etc/services
  cvspserver 2401/tcp
• Add this line to /etc/services
  cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=[my repository] pserver
• Restart inetd
  pkill -HUP inetd
  
• Either copy over an old repository to your directory or create a new one.
  cvs -d /my/repository/path init
• Before you finish, don't forget to set permissions like so:
  chown -R cvs:cvs /my/repository/path
  chmod 775 /my/repository/path
• Do "cvs -d :pserver:username@accelere02.acceleresystems.com:2401/ login"
  
• If you get an error like "cvs login: warning: failed to open /home/piter/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory", just touch .cvspass
• There is a limit in inetd to how many arguments can be put on one line. If you need more than a few repositories (each repository needs its own --allow-root) use a shell script.
