Remote Access: Server Side
CVS (1.7 or greater) has a built-in client server mode. Supported modes in version 1.9 include rsh, pserver, or kerberos authenticated. We'll cover pserver here.

Setting up the server

Consult the CVS manual and your local UNIX guru if you have questions.

Create a CVS repository if there is not already one.

Add this to /etc/services: 

cvs             2401/tcp                        # remote cvs server
Add this to /etc/inetd.conf: 
cvs     stream  tcp   nowait  root  /path/to/cvs   cvs pserver
Restarted inetd. Optionally, you may create a passwd file in the CVSROOT that contains name:cryptedpasswd pairs, one per line. This allows users to avoid using their normal login passwords with CVS.
