It doesn't work as a daemon. You either have to use it as a pserver with
inetd (or whatever flavor of inetd) or you have to use rsh/ssh/etc to
connect and execute the cvs command remotely.
I think it's quite odd that it works like this, but I think the reasons are
that cvs was never meant to serve remote requests. It was meant to be a
local tool on a local filesystem. It just happens that rsh/ssh allow you to
remotely execute any unix shell command in a remote fashion. It's worked
well like this forever and the designers have never felt the need to change
this behavior.
