There are a couple ways you can use CVS. You control which method your
using by the CVSROOT environment variable. You can have the repository
on a local or NFS mounted file system and access it directly. In this
case, you might set CVSROOT like:

setenv CVSROOT /data/repository

CVS can also working in a client/server mode. This is done either
trough rsh, or by CVS internal authentication mechanism, pserver. For
rsh:

setenv CVSROOT :ext:andy@example.com:/data/repository/

for pserver later case, CVSROOT would look like:

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:andy@example.com:/data/repository/

In this case, you need an inetd setting like:

cvs             stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/bin/cvs      cvs     pserver

To make a new repository, set CVSROOT to where you want it and then
run cvsinit.

See http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html for more info.

Hope this helps.
