By default Gentoo does not enable server support when building/installing CVS. You need to enable the "server" USE flag (typically editting /etc/make.conf is best) and re-run "emerge -va cvs" (or similar). When installed properly, running "cvs --version" on the Gentoo box should claim "... (client/server)", not just "... (client)". -- Matthew Ogilvie [[email protected]]
