To allow all trusted CVS users ACCESS to the repository, we will CREATE a cvsusers group. To do this add:

cvsusers:x:4901:jiansen,tom to /etc/group to create a cvsusers group, and add jiansen and tom to it. NOTE, 4901 is not special, it is any number not already in use as a group id or user id - I used it because it is the default port for a CVS pserver, which creates a nice link between the TWO. 

cd /home/jiansen
find cvs/ -EXEC chgrp cvsusers {} ;
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chmod g+s {} ;
