Hi all

Can someone guide me back on to the straight and narrow here? I am trying
to setup CVS. I have done the following steps so far:

Checked following were in /etc/services

cvspserver      2401/tcp                        # CVS client/server
operations
cvspserver      2401/udp                        # CVS client/server
operations

And in /etc/inetd.conf:

#CVS pserver
pserver  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/bin/cvs cvs -b /usr/bin
pserver

Then I did:

cvs -d /home/cvs init

Which created a /hom/cvs dir for me. I then restarted /etc/rc.d/inetd/inet

However when I try to log into the repository using 

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@localhost:/home/cvs 

I get the following:

cvs [login aborted]: connect to localhost:2401 failed: Connection refused

Which I figure is one of two things - a password/permissions problem or
that the service is not running. So my question is fourfold:

1) How do I create a password file for cvs
2) How do I check if CVS is actually running?
3) I checked the man page but don't see anything on how to create
repository - can someone tell me how to do this?
4) Can someone point me to a good resource (in tutorial style preferably)
on using CVS? I already tried the CVS website.

Thanks in advance, sorry about the longwinded post!
