That's almost true. Since/if you're using :pserver: on the server side then
you need to modify "inetd.conf" option "--allow-root=" value. Read this:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_2.html#SEC30
Also consider cvs will use repositories identified by symbolic links and
accepts multiple "--allow-root=" options. Consider doing:
mv <oldname> <newname> # new name is hard linked
ln <newname> <oldname> # old name is symbolic link
In "inetd.conf" use "--allow-root=<newname> --allow-root=<oldname>" and
then access by old AND new names should work concurrently.

Don't know about this one myself.
