Creating a CVS Repository Mac OS X 10.6.3

I created a CVS repository couple months ago for our development but the laptop looks like it is going to die so I need to set another one up. I decided to document what I did to get it up and running just in case I needed to do it again.

My IMAC that I'll use is running Mac OS X 10.6.3.
I already have Xcode 3.2.1 which automatically comes with CVS.

Of course Google turned up some good sites with good info and examples such as:


I basically followed steps 1 to 5 of url #1 above (I skipped step 3 - ran into a problem trying to modify the CVSWRAPPERS file).
We are using SmartCVS as our cvs client.  
Next step is to modify the default port that sshd runs on for security purposes.  I modified the ssh line of the /etc/services file to set the sshd port to a non-default one.
After that, we are able to perform the main cvs function: update, commit, revert, etc.

Now we need to get xcode to recognize the non-default port...
