(I assume you mean the cvs pserver mode?) Why would we want to?  It is
easy to create a shell that contains only '/usr/bin/cvs server', which
gives you the same functionality.

pserver mode has had a few security violations in the past, and it
wouldn't surprise me if has been turned of for that reason.

If you're actually talking of cvs server mode, tough: AFAIK, we
support it.  At least I use it, and it work fine.
