hello, me again.

given:

1.) a directory initialized as a CVS repository with 
"cvs /home/directory init"
2.) permissions as follows: 
drwxrwsr-x    3 owner1  group1           4096 Oct 10 13:07 directory
3.) owner2 is a member of group1 but his default group is not group1
4.) group memberships map to project memberships and owner2 has many
projects.
5.) owner2 accesses and updates the cvs repository via ssh.

problem: owner2 cannot WRITE or MODIFY to the repository because his
default group when he logs in is not group1. 

the actual unix command to change groups ON AN INTERACTIVE LOGIN SESSION
is newgrp <groupname>. i need something like that just for the ssh
session of a CVS write operation(import, commit, etc).

any ideas? am i missing something obvious? thanks!

--vince.
