Is there a way to specify which group id is to be granted access to newly

We use CVS access via SSH (actually :ext:) with unique usernames for each
CVS user to interact with the repository. We assign a unique group id to
each CVS module, then selectively grant group membership to individual
users. Even though I've run chgrp on an entire CVS module to set its group,
when a user creates new content in that module, CVS assigns group access to
"users", giving anyone with shell access visibility to the file. How do I
get CVS to use another group id?
You need to set the group 's' bit on all the sub-directories in the
module within the repository. The following is how I usually do it
(assuming a Unix-like system.)
chgrp -R <group_for_module> <module>
find <module> -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
