Two methods exist. 

a) Modify your commitinfo and taginfo scripts to disallow all commits
and tagging operations by returning a non-zero return code for all users
other than your administrative users (so that they can commit to remove
the change later).

b) get something like the cvslock program to do this job for you:

I favor #a myself, but it does not necessarily stop 'cvs admin' commands
which may at times be desriable.
