How to set-up CVS server on RedHat 7.1 to use from Netbeans?

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

I have the following development environment:
        Dell Laptop
        Windows 2000 
        JDK 1.3
        Netbeans 3.2

I need to share a project with several developers that
are remotely located.

Therefore, I am thinking of setting up a CVS server on
a RedHat 7.1 machine that I have for development.  Since
it is is our colo space, it will be remotely accessible.

I started to look at the CVS web site and got horribly confused
as most of the docs talk about using a server, not how to 
set it up.

If I go to the server, it already has the CVS RPM installed,
rpm -q cvs yields cvs-1.11-3

So, all I need to do is to figure out how to set it up so
I can checking my existing source files from Netbeans on my
laptop.

Also, I have seen a lot of projects on sourceforge 
using CVS over SSH, which I think is a great idea.  
Unfortunately, this is a non open-source project so I cant
use sourceforge.

I already have sshd running on the server, but will
netbeans on my laptop recognize it?

Thanks,
        Neil.
