Setting up CVS is pretty straightforward.  The manual at

    http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/

should tell you everything you need to know.  Note that if you want to
setup up an anonymous, chrooted CVS server things get a little more
complicated.  The OpenBSD folks have a package at

    http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.shar

that helps.

In a similar vein, has anyone tried Subversion yet?  It's supposed to be a
lot more usable and secure than CVS.
