We have people working on multiple AIX nodes and NT all using the same
repository. We are working all at the same site, but as long as you can ping
the repository server, the following (should) work fine (If you have port
blocking routers/firewalls then extra firewalls configurations will be
needed to allow socket connections on the cvspserver port).
All I did to get this working was:
On all the machines that need access to the repository, and on the
repository, add the following entry to the services file:
cvspserver 11001/tcp # cvs pserver
We used 11001 because the standard pserver port number is used for something
else on AIX.
On the repository server, add the following line to inetd.conf (all on one
line)...
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /<cvs_bin_path>/cvs cvs -f
--allow-root=/<path_to_repo> pserver
On the repository machine do:
cvs -d /<path_to_repo> init
For each user do
export CVSROOT=:pserver:user@hostname:/<path_to_repo>
and on NT machine sure that HOME is set to a directory on your local machine
(e.g. C:\TEMP).
... and away we went...

Subject: Can CVS do it?
Hello,
I need to set up a central repository for 6 remote sites that will
have both Unix & NT clients. Reading through the sparse documentation
on remote repositories and setting up CVS client / server, I'm
unclear whether this utility will meet my requirements or if it's
more
suited to local (single site) version control.
I would very much appreciate feedback from the CVS gurus and
anyone else who has successfully (or otherwise) attempted something
similar. Any comments on security issues for my proposed
configuration
would also be welcomed.
Thanks ....... Geoff
