How can I setup a CVS server ?

  1. First, install cvs with YaST2 of your SuSE CD.

  2. Second, edit /etc/inetd.conf and find the line that looks like this:

    # cvspserver stream tcp nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/bin/cvs -f --allow-root=/home/cvsroot pserver
    	  

    Remove the comment charachter ( "#" ) and space from the front of the line.

  3. Save the file and restart inetd: rcinetd restart

How do I enable telnet in SuSE 8.0?

Services such as these are enabled by editing the /etc/inetd.conf file. Then, you must also use the Runlevel editor to activate inetd in the desired runlevels.

Note

Telnetd is not installed by default, please install the package telnet-server

You would be better off using ssh in place of telnet.

Now services started by xinetd (inetd) use the tcp wrappers, so to get things working you will have to do some editing to the files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. See man 5 hosts_access for details of the format.
