It's rare that you'd want to use the native CVS daemon, which is
likely why nobody has done the work to integrate an SMF for the native
support. By far the most common ways to access CVS these days are:
- Read-write via CVS_RSH=ssh, which requires nothing other than an
account on the machine in question and perhaps a shared group if
there are N>1 users writing to the files. In this mode the cvs
program is simply executed via ssh and acts as the server.
- Anonymous read-only via anoncvs, usually using one of the forks of
anoncvssh.c, e.g. the OpenBSD setup available here:
http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.shar
If it turns out that the old pserver stuff is still useful we can look
at integrating support for it.
