if you are talking about files in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/ (admin files)
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC20
then you are probably looking for:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC176
In this case I have to ask, Why are USERS changing any thing in this
directory?  The users question is why I am confused as to what you are asking.


if you are new to cvs, I am concerned you are talking about normal files
(source code)?
here I would suggest reading most of the manual
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/
but in particular
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC9
and
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC11

I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development
That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb.  Thank you.
