Re: How do you start the cvs server

[James Knowles]

One does not need to start a daemon to use CVS. It operates on the file
system. If you are working on the same machine as the repository, then you
need do nothing.

If you are working a different machine, then there are generally two
different approaches: 

There is the pserver mode for CVS which may prove useful if you're on a
secured network. I have personally never done much with this. A different
approach is to set up rsh to log in automatically. 

If you're accessing the CVS repository across an insecure network, then
another option, such as using ssh, is preferred.
