lib/App/adminguide/cvs.pod  view on Meta::CPAN

Otherwise, I would have verified that in the /etc/passwd and 
/etc/group files and created them if necessary.

=head2 CVSROOT

I chose /usr/mycompany/cvs (where "mycompany" is replaced with a
name for our company) for all CVS files (i.e. CVSROOT).

  cd /usr/mycompany
  mkdir cvs
  chown cvs cvs
  chgrp cvs cvs
  chmod 775 cvs
  chmod g+s cvs

We use Bash and Korn shell, so I added the following lines to
"/etc/profile" so that the CVSROOT variable is available to all
users.

  CVSROOT=/usr/mycompany/cvs
  export CVSROOT
