The debian package for cvs turns off pserver by default and warns that it is 
a security risk.  They advocate using the :ext: cvs access method with SSH.  

This what I do.  I have to type a password everytime I hit cvs.  I got used 
to it. 

What's the sentiment on pserver and security in this group?

Is RH doing things with pserver for security reasons in its release 9?  Maybe 
I'm reading too much into this issue?

Make clockwise circles with your right foot. 
Now use your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air.
