Using pserver sort of defeats the purpose of using OpenBSD!
I was always under the impression the those using OpenBSD were doing so for
security reasons. And pserver is far from secure!
Give up on pserver. Instead, set up accounts for your developers, and use
server mode over ssh (or equivalent). You'll also get the added bonus of
being able to use native unix groups to manage projects.
Just set the envvar CVS_RSH to the value ssh, then use
cvs -d :ext:user@site:/path/to/dir
