Because CVS is not a security tool, nor is it "security aware". What you want to do can be done entirely with SSH and SSH was designed to do exactly that sort of thing. CVS is a user tool -- no different in its conceptual function than "vi" or "cat". You sure wouldn't want a client/server version of "vi" to be authanticating and authorising the client's actions, but you could and should easily use SSH to make the connection between the client and server parts of such a tool. -- Greg A.
