There is no 'cvsadmin' account. However, you should set up a cvs group, and
add all the accounts that will use cvs to this group.

You just have to make sure that the cvs group or user has read and write
permission in the repository (but maybe not under CVSROOT).

A module is a project. If i was working on a project called My Project, I
would import it into CVS with a module name myproject. Files for this
project will then be written to /usr/local/cvsroot/myproject/... Whatever
developers check into cvs, will end up here. So basically, a module is just
a cvs word for a project.

Here is mine...
address@hidden cvsrepos]$ ls -la
total 24
drwxrwxr-x 6 root cvs 4096 Feb 15 16:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Feb 19 13:10 ..
drwxrwxr-x 3 root cvs 4096 Feb 15 08:46 CVSROOT
drwxrwxr-x 3 cvs cvs 4096 Feb 15 16:20 TextBot
drwxr-xr-x 4 cvs cvs 4096 Feb 23 08:01 gridback
drwxr-xr-x 5 cvs cvs 4096 Feb 22 16:54 gridfront
I have a user on the system called 'cvs', and I use the passwd
administration file to map cvs users to that system user. So all users
actually use the system under the system account 'cvs'. I don't know if it
is the best way, but it works fine for me, and we don't need high security.

I used to use wincvs, but had a few problems with it. Noticed that there is
now a new version though. But I now use jcvs, and it works fairly well.
There are some features from wincvs that I wish jcvs had, but in general, I
don't mind jcvs. I also use the command line a bit still.
