Depends on how you are connecting remotely. If using pserver, then the answer is Yes, you can setup a passwd file in CVSROOT that maps a CVS "user" into a system account. You can setup a single system account shared by multiple CVS users or you can have a one-to-one mapping. The CVS user is what get's logged as who made the change, not the local system account that the server used to run the CVS requests. Take a look at http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/ for some good information on how this is done.
