I have a group set up called "CVSUsers", and only they have access to 
the CVS repository and temp directories.  Take everyone off and you've 
restricted your repository to only those authorized.  Then you can use 
CVSNT's ACL system to fine tune modules and branch access.

I also have a similar group "CVSAdmins" is used for the CVSROOT, but 
it's not necessary if you use the ACL system properly (and it's better 
to use the builtin one anyway because of the permission exceptions 
within CVSROOT -- valtags and history).

The only downside is if you use ViewCVS.  The setup needs to be altered 
slightly (IIS configuration, set to NT Authentication for the ViewCVS web).
