I have a machine that I've dedicated for CVS.  I installed the "cvs",
"ssh", "ntp", and "bastille" packages, and little else.  I don't use the
CVS pserver (it is insecure), but instead access the CVS machine using
CVS clients on remote machines configured to use the SSH access method.


To simplify matters, I created a Perl script "cvsenv" that I run from
within a Bash shell on remote machines which sets up an interactive
subshell with the right settings:

To install and use:

1.  Put cvsenv into your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin).

2.  Copy .cvsenvrc to the home directory of your user account and edit
to suit.

3.  Run cvsenv in your home directory.


HTH,
