All the links I've ever used for CVS are here:

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/

look at the list under "Learning about CVS", especially.

pserver is the typical way to provide remote access to cvs, but I think it would
be better to use ssh if it's available on the cvs box.  You get better security
(pserver encrypts passwords over the 'net, but trivially) and easier admin (you
can use regular user accounts rather than a separate password file, because of
the increased security).

I haven't set up cvs to use ssh, but there is info for it on the above site.  You
use ssh as a replacement for rsh and it should be straightforward.
