Setting up CVS on Dreamhost (my experience with them has been awesome so far) was easier than I thought it would be.

Step 1 - create a new directory to serve as your cvs root. It can be called whatever you like.

Step 2 - set the cvsroot. If your shell is bash(which mine is), issue this command: export CVSROOT=/home/myaccount/mycvsroot

Step 3 - initialize it: cvs init

That’s it! You can craete multiple modules using a client such as Eclipse. The only drawback - and I’m not sure of this yet - is that there is no way to limit access. You can create multiple acocunts to provide access, but apparently they all get commit rights. This is fine for my needs, but not likely for everyone’s..
