CVS is the wrong tool for your application. You may wish to consider
other source control management solutions for your problem.

CVS == Concurrent Versions System
It is intended for concurrent development, not for restricted locking.

Consider visiting the comp.software.config-mgmt newsgroup
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/sw-config-mgmt/prob-mgt-tools/
(or visit the comp.software-eng newsgroup).

        Good luck,
