Finding Out More
================

Although this chapter tries to give a complete introduction to
installing and administering CVS, I've left out things that are either
too rarely used to be worth mentioning or already well documented in the
Cederqvist manual.  The latter category includes setting up the other
remote access methods: RSH/SSH, kserver (Kerberos 4), and GSSAPI (which
includes Kerberos 5, among other things).  It should be noted that
nothing special needs to be done for RSH/SSH connections, other than
making sure that the user in question can log into the repository
machine using RSH or SSH.  If they can and CVS is installed on both
client and server, and they have the right permissions to use the
repository directly from the server machine, then they should be able to
access the repository remotely via the :ext: method.

Descriptions of certain specialized features of CVS have been deferred
to later chapters, so they can be introduced in contexts where their
usefulness is obvious.  General CVS troubleshooting tips are found in
Note: Tips And Troubleshooting.  Although it's not necessary to read
the entire Cederqvist manual, you should familiarize yourself with it;
it will be an invaluable reference tool.  If for some reason you don't
have Info working on your machine and don't want to print the manual,
you can browse it online at `http://durak.org/cvswebsites/doc/' or
`http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvs_toc.html'.
