'''Question: How do I use CVS?'''

We support CVS from a non-daemon, non-anonymous access standpoint:

To init: (for user jim, please adjust accordingly)
{{{
cvs -d /home1/j/jim/cvs init
}}}
For more help on CVS:
{{{
man cvs
}}}
Remote access from another unix machine with cvs installed: (will  require the login and password for user jim, and you will need to use  your webserver hostname accordingly.)

{{{
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:jim@webserver.kattare.com:/home1/j/jim/cvs
}}}
Then you can run cvs commands normally from your remote system like so:
{{{
cvs checkout blah
}}}
