They'll also need to set LockDir in CVSROOT/config.

Basically:

1. everyone needs read access to those files and
directories whose files they need to be able to
checkout.
2. everyone needs write access to those directories
whose files they need to be able to checkin.

You may also want to look into using POSIX ACLs (man
setfacl for more info).
