cvs and security



hi all,

i'd like to set up a cvs repository for remote users.

i recently found that cvs ssh access seems to require that i give remote
users a shell account on my computer.  

but i've heard that pserver is very insecure.

i don't know what to do.   one thing is for damn sure.  i don't want people
having shell accounts on my machine.

is pserver really as insecure as i've heard?

is there a way to use ssh for cvs without giving people shell access on my
machine?   giving user cvs a shell of /bin/false seems to screw up cvs.

help!!

pete
