Hmm, pserver has nice features and is great with a read-only server but is a problem with read/write servers because user id & password exchange is very insecure. Especially nice is user control within CVS alone, not secure but enough to setup users/passwords and then allow as "readers" and/or "writers". The ssh overcomes security problems of pserver but introduces more admin on server side since user credentials must be setup on server to permit ssh access. Fine grain access control requires a setup for each user, users in correct group, correct group and permissions applied to CVS repository, etc. Then there's the hybrid approach, connect to server with ssh client, open ssh tunnel on local pserver port to server pserver port, use "cvs -d :pserver:localhost/cvs <command>" and viola pserver over ssh tunnel!!! Having credentials for each user to control access to ssh is a good idea but beyond that CVS repository can be owned by single user and group by using CVS pserver user control stuff.
