Description Nahor 2003-01-24 18:56:01 UTC
the cvs package should add a cvs (cvspserverd) file in the /etc/xinetd.d
directory like do vsftpd or netkit-telnetd

This page gives a little "howto" to setup such a server

SpanKY you're into xinetd arentcha?

Comment 4 Nahor 2003-02-24 12:34:42 UTC
I don't think the cvs user and cvs group exist. They need to be created. 

Also, I think the user should to be root to allow for multiuser access. I found another link (official documentation) for setting xinet:

Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-02-24 13:01:13 UTC
cvs users do exist in default passwd/group ... 
that is a sep bug that needs to be filed for the cvs ebuild ... 
 
as for setting the user to 'root', well thats a decision to be made by the administrator ...
