The CVS repository is in a jail on the server. It is not really a service -- the clients connect via SSH and run the CLI. Putting CVS in a jail on the server can and has complicated sysadmin tasks when I need to work either or both the server and jail. A dedicated machine without the jail would be simpler. > if yes, are there security issues associated with cvs? I think there are security issues no matter how you run CVS: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=442&product_id=0&version_id=0&page=1&hasexp=0&opdos=0&opec=0&opov=0&opcsrf=0&opgpriv=0&opsqli=0&opxss=0&opdirt=0&opmemc=0&ophttprs=0&opbyp=0&opfileinc=0&opginf=0&cvssscoremin=0&cvssscoremax=0&year=0&cweid=0&order=1&trc=20&sha=94cfaaf625f54f37acad68e891f591329feb2260 David
