1. Create a cvs user and a cvs group

    root# adduser
   
    Add users that should have access to cvs to the newly created cvs group. Use pw to add a user to the group
    root# pw groupmod cvs -M <userid>
   
2. Create your cvs repository

    root# mkdir /usr/local/cvs
    root# chown cvs:cvs /usr/local/cvs
    root# chmod 775 /usr/local/cvs
   
    Switch to the cvs user to initialize the repository
    
    root# su - cvs
    cvs# cvs -d /usr/local/cvs init   
   
3. Set up pserver for cvs
   Add the pserver line in /etc/inetd.conf. In most installations it is already there,
   you will just need to uncomment it and point it to /usr/local/cvs.

   cvspserver   stream   tcp   nowait   root   /usr/bin/cvs   cvs --allow-root=/usr/local/cvs pserver    
   
   Restart inetd if it is already running.
  
   root# kill -HUP `ps ax | grep inetd | awk '{print $1}'`
  
   If inetd is not running, start it.
  
   root# /usr/sbin/inetd
  
   Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to have inetd start automatically at startup
   inetd_enable="YES"
  
You can now access cvs remotely using the pserver.
Set CVSROOT to :pserver:username@host:/usr/local/cvs than log into cvs.

cvsuser# export CVSROOT=:pserver:username@host:/usr/local/cvs
cvsuser# cvs login
