Write down the sequence of steps needed to install CVS on your system. What is the most recent version of CVS available for installation? How did you obtain your answer?

What will be an ideal response?

To make CVS run in server mode the following added commands are needed.
1. Add the following lines to the services file
cvspserver 2401/tcp
cvspserver 2401/udp
2. Add the following lines to the file /etc/inetd.conf
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs -allow- root=/usr/bin/cvsroot pserver
3. Now you need to restart the inetd (super server deamon) by sending it the -HUP signal.
In case that you use the new version of inetd called xinetd then a server file (called cvspserver) needs to be created in the folder /etc/xinet.d/ with the following lines:
server cvspserver{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/cvs -allow- root=/usr/bin/cvsroot pserver
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
To restart xinetd issue the following command
/etc/rc.d/initd/xinetd restart
