if you mean pserver access: There have been more than one warning not to
use that protocol over untrusted networks. That protocol was not
designed with security in mind.

Anyway, if you use anything "below" cvs (for example, ssh), you get the
same security the underlying protocol itself offers you.

Thus, if you use cvs over ssh, your question reduces to the question:
"Is ssh over the internet secure enough [for me]?"


HTH,
