Take off the "professional software development shop" training wheels and
try to solve some real problems. Opening up your CVS repository to the
world is a much more difficult problem, for several reasons. The first
and foremost being that you don't get any control over the client setup.

I do use real unix user-ids. That's how pserver works.

I'm running only one repository on the same host. The fact is I have
different classes of developers. Some people I trust to work on the core
classes. Some people maintain only peripheral material.
Again, take off the "professional software development shop" training
wheels and try dealing with the more difficult scenarios.

I'd rather spend my time supporting them by writing code than supporting
them by flying out to Bulgaria to get WinCVS set up with ssh.
