perhaps the following pages from the manual would help
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC36
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC179

I think I have heard on this list (archived at
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs ) that a LockDir writeable by everyone
who needed read access would allow read only access for everyone it was
configured writeable for, and setting the actual repository to only be
writeable by the smaller write permitted group would provide nice control.
