The cvs command 'cvs server' is the other half of a client/server
connection - it's valid.

I suggest you use the technique recommended by the manual with the ext
protocol and CVS_SERVER environment variable - you do not need to set up
pserver or anything else - just use the instructions for ssh in the
manual.
