If you use :extssh: or :ext: methods, then follow the instructions for
adding ew users to the operating system.

If you use :pserver:, be advised that I believe this is a bad idea and
I personally refuse to run a :pserver: cvs server myself.

If the following document is not useful to you:

  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Secure-CVS-Pserver/setuptools.html
  http://www.taylorit.com/articles/2005-06-17/how.to.set.up.a.cvs.server/
  http://www.taursys.com/howto/cvs/

you may find others by doing a google search, or someone here may be
better suited gto your reuireenebts..

        -- Mark

NB: I personally do not believe that CVS has had an extensive enough
security audit to justify such a weak protocol. (Although, I can
understand the attraction of using :pserver: for anonymous read access
to a mirror of a CVS repository.)
