Using inetd with gserver, kserver, and pserver
gserver
,
kserver
, and
pserver
access modes require a
server to run on the repository computer. For these modes, the server
is started with inetd
or
xinetd
. inetd is
configured in the “Other services”
section of /etc/inetd.conf, as shown in Example 8-18 and Example 8-19. Note that

different repository root directories, add more
--allow-root options.
You can use the -T option or the
TMPDIR environment variable to set a specific
temporary directory. If no directory is listed, /tmp
is used.
Note
It can be useful to run the server as a special user, possibly named
cvs, to limit the amount of damage that can be
done if one of the arbitrary scripts (or CVS itself) is insecure. If
you do this, ensure that the repository root directory and the
CVSROOT files start out being owned by the ...
