12.1.1 Installing a CVS server
The following setup will allow commits to the CVS repository only by a member
of the "src" group, and administration of CVS only by a member of the
"staff" group, thus reducing the chance of shooting oneself.
# cd /var/lib; umask 002; mkdir cvs # [Woody] FSH
# apt-get install cvs cvs-doc cvsbook
# export CVSROOT=/var/lib/cvs
# cd $CVSROOT
# chown root:src . # "staff" to restrict more for starting project.
# chmod 3775 . # If above uses "staff", use 2775
# cvs -d /var/lib/cvs init # safer to specify -d here explicitly!
# cd CVSROOT
# chown -R root:staff .
# chmod 2775 .
# touch val-tags
# chmod 664 history val-tags
# chown root:src history val-tags
