Actually, CVS does respect a cvsadmin group. If it exists it restricts access
to the 'cvs admin' command to users tof that group. What you said about the
cvs group is a decent recommendation though.

Well, they only need write permissions to directories they need write access to
if you enable a LockDir directory they have write access to. And if the
CVSROOT/history file exists I think they need write access to that too, but not
to the CVSROOT directory itself.
