thanks for that.

it kind of took a while to sink in that CVS is primarily a way of setting up
repositories and putting files in and out.

i'm so used to client/server stuff that i just assumed it was another
client/server setup.

if fact, i should be able to access the repository using ssh because i have
access to the CVS 'server' - pserver is a tool which has been added as an
authentication mechanism for CVS.

the link you sent is great - nice and clear stuff.

i suppose i'm also used to debian where stuff gets set up for you - there is
a package call cvsd which sets up pserver for you - it also creates a
default repository, sets permissions correctly etc.

another great doc source i found was http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/

thanks again,
