The easiest way to set this up (that I know of) is

	mkdir /home/ncvs && \
	cd /home/ncvs && \
	fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~eivind/cvsupdate && \
	chmod 755 cvsupdate && \
	./cvsupdate

cvsupdate can also take a cvsup server name on the command line, and a
collection on the command line (it builds supfiles on the fly).  Look
inside the script for details (it's small and trivial.)
