I am using the pserver option with CVS and the CVSROOT in /var/lib/cvs
and this is what I did.

- Make sure /etc/services included a line saying:
    cvspserver      2401/udp
- Added the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
    cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs cvs \
      --allow-root=/var/lib/cvs pserver
- Create the file /var/lib/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd
- To add a user to that file:
    htpasswd -n <username> >> /var/lib/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd
  (then append ":cvs" to the end of each line in that file, to make all
   files owned by user cvs)
- Change the environment variable CVSROOT to:
    CVSROOT=:pserver:<username>@localhost:/var/lib/cvs
- cvs login
