Welcome back to Going CVS. It was a long time since we last had an update here, but as you know-stuff that rests isnt stuf that’s EOL;). In the last part of the column, we looked at how to set up a box with CVS:

Today, we will take a look at configuring it! The first thing that you will want to configure is the VNC server, as it allows you to access your server remotely from the network. Setting up CVS is very easy. All you need to do is click the Install Service entry in the srat menu, restart the machine, and presto-it already runs. After that, you need to click on the VNC icon at the bottom right of the machine and click on properties. You can set up a VNC password there, I advise you to use a long one than you can easily remember.
From now on, if a user is logged on, you can connect yourself to your VNC server with a VNC client.
On we go to CVSNT. Open the CVSNT control panel from the srat menu of your NT box(you can use VNC). Click Repository configuration, then click add. Choose the location, then copy the contents of the location text box into the name field. You will receive a few alert boxes, just click yes on all of them!
Now, CVS should be set up. In the next part, we will connect Eclipse to the server.
BTW, here are a few web sites with further hints on CVSNT:
