The two available methods are pserver and ext (using rsh or ssh).

I am not sure what you mean. If the users have a shell account on the cvs
server, then they should be able to get access with the :ext: protocol of cvs.
As far as permissions, make the group ownership of your cvsroot something
like cvsusers and make it group writeable. Add all the users whom you would
like to have commit access to that group.
