Donald,

Thanks for your reply.

I am using cvs in a client server mode through pserver. Does it mean I have
to comment out the entry for pserver in the inetd.conf file or is there any
other way ? Actually, the unix system is administered by somebody else and
to update files like inetd.conf will need root permission.

Thanks,
Ajay

Ajay -

Alot depends on how your users access the data, and what you want the
administrator to do.

If your using pserver access, turn off access via inetd.
If your using ext access, turn off rsh or ssh or similiar access
methodology.
If your exporting and mounting the filesystem elsewhere, turn off 
the export of the file system.

You can also put #lock files in the directories that you want to block
access to.
