Please reassess why you want to use locks. Once you move away from reserved
locks, CVS will be much easier to use.
For example, it wouldn't matter whether both eater and feeder can modify the
files in your example, so long as they both know what'll be happening to the
files.

Subject: CVS Users CVSROOT/passwd permissions
I was hoping to not have to create UNIX user accounts on my CVS
machine so for security I can just create user accounts in the
CVSROOT/passwd file, which all act in UNIX as, say, user "cvs"... But
if I have user "feeder" which checks out and locks a file as user
"cvs", will user "eater" be able to unlock the file and edit it?
Though "eater" authenticates with a different password, "eater" is
also using "cvs" as it's user on the UNIX system as shown in the
passwd file.
ie:
> cat ~cvs/CVSROOT/passwd
eater:lbAD1Z$oMX762:cvs
feeder:$1$SNOFMmo5$/JLpY3Fi2lpa8KI4eTXC11:cvs
