Hello,


It's both easier and arguably more secure ( both as far as encryption, and
accountability ) to use SSH.

If you really need pserver for some reason, since you're running Debian
you can let it take care of it for you, just run :

dpkg-reconfigure cvs

And answer "yes" when it asks you if you want to enable "CVS Pserver",
it will set everything up for you in /etc/inetd.conf ( assuming you
answered the question about where your cvs repository is ).
