Limiting specific pserver users only makes sense if you trust the users not to undermine your configuration. If you don't trust all the users, use the "ext" access method with ssh.
Moreover, I'm a little confused here. Are you trying to restrict access to specific users, or to whoever is logged in on specific machines? CVS, like most such services, doesn't really care where the connection comes from, so you would have to use some other form of restriction to block off certain machines. Assuming that you want to block off the users, remember that CVS requires a valid user account when invoked. If the users have accounts on the server, they can use those; if not, you can supply account names in the third field of CVSROOT/passwd. You simply make sure that the users that should not access certain directories don't have write or execute permissions on those directories. If they should have read-only access, then they need read and execute permission for the directories, and you need to supply a LockDir= line in your CVSROOT/config. David H.
