Assuming you've set up :ext:/SSH access to your CVS server and
private/public keys are available as an access method, the SSH keys
are probably stored in $HOME/.ssh. Other than that, $HOME shouldn't
be used for much on the server, provided that the only command that
ever gets executed there is `cvs server'. In that case, it should be
safe to share the home dir as you described if you can keep the shared
authorized_keys file updated as needed.
If you are using the :pserver: access method, $HOME should not be used
at all on the server end.
Cheers,
Derek
