Joe,

If you're using CVS pserver, it's as simple as uncommenting and filling in
the line for cvspserver in inetd.conf.

CVS imports involve heavy I/O which get buffered in temp space on the
server, so like with so many things, the more memory and faster storage,
the better.

Note that the temp space is /tmp by default, so either have a large mfs of
md on /tmp for best performance or switch it to disk on /var/tmp by adding
"-T/var/tmp". Note the lack of space there - this was an issue, though I'm
not sure if it still is.

No ports need for running a pserver or using CVS over ssh or rsh, however
there are some CVS tools such as cvsweb which you may like.

The CVS site has good docs - http://www.cvshome.org/
