Are these people going to be able to commit to the repository or not?
If not, it's easy: http://kitenet.net/programs/sshcvs
If they need to be able to commit too, it becomes much harder, since cvs
is not designed to prevent committers from getting shell access, in
general. You need to make sure they cannot commit to certian files in
CVSROOT which shell code can be put into (I've seen this used to get
shell access to sourceforge, though they may have closed that hole now).
