<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">cvs is the name of a process that rancid runs in order to detect and archive changes in configuration files.<br>
<br>
Originally, it was called this because the process ran the Concurrent Versioning System which you will find in Wikipedia under CVS (alternatively, google CVS).<br>
<br>
Today, rancid's cvs process can use CVS, Subversion or Git. You should be using Git, if you don't know what CVS is.<br>
<br>
It looks like you are trying to use CVS but don't have it set up? Hard for me to tell, I only use Git. CVS is ancient.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I've even tried adding the device in router.db as:

<div>cvs;cisco;down</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and it still complains about the original mysterious cvs.</div>
