- Create a new file called "cvspserver" in /ete/xinetd.d/
- Inside that file paste the following:
service cvspserver
Replace the "Your CVSROOT here" with the location of your repository (example: /usr/local/cvsroot).
{
disable = no
protocol = tcp
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root="Your CVSROOT here" pserver
passenv =
groups = yes
}
- Restart xinetd. Send a SIGHUP signal to the xinetd process.
- Change your firewall configuration to allow port 2401 if appropriate.
[Editor's note: This hint explains how to set it up in pre 10.2 systems.]
