For Debian Users:-
apt-get install cvs
Create a CVS user#

Above command will create a user cvs and group cvs with /home/cvs home directory.
Configure CVS
Open /etc/profile and append following line:# vi /etc/profile
Append following line:
export CVSROOT=/home/cvs
Save the file and exit to shell promot.
Make sure your /etc/xinetd.d/cvs looks as follows:
# less /etc/xinetd.d/cvsOutput:
service cvspserver
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = cvs
group = cvs
log_type = FILE /var/log/cvspserver
protocol = tcp
env = ‘$HOME=/home/cvsroot’
bind = 192.168.1.100
log_on_failure += USERID
port = 2401
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f –allow-root=/home/cvsroot pserver
