cvs server is what is run in :ext: mode via $CVS_RSH and does not use
the :pserver: required option of --allow-root=<pathname>.

Read access at the least if you plan to allow commits as the users will
need to be able to read the commitinfo/verifymsg/loginfo and similiar
scripts for commits as well as being able to read
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/config

Using normal HOST access control methods.

You may find it desirable to have CVSROOT/config use a LockDir to give
different permissions for checkout than for commit.
