Re: remote connection from LAN

[Derek R. Price]

As long as your firewall lets port 2401 through to the CVS server
machine, things should work fine.  Of course, if your place is that
secure, you may have to work overtime assuring your sysadmins that your
CVS server isn't going to give root away to some script kitty on the net.
