I have a similar need for a CVS security model that allows me to control
which users can access which CVS projects.  My solution was to create
multiple repositories (/cvs/r030325a, /cvs/r030325b, etc.), each owned
by a different user.group (r030325a.r030325a, r030325b.r030325b,
respectively, etc.).  I then add/remove users from a given repository
group to control who can access that repository.


I created a Perl script "dvs" to automate/simplify the scheme:

    root AT r7310g:~$ dvs
    Usage:
        dvs [options]

          Options:
            --debug, -d                 Generate debug messages
            --debug_file=FILE           Append debug messages to FILE
            --debug_level=LEVEL         Set the debug message level to
LEVEL
            --help, -h, -?              Print a brief help message and
exit (1)
            --initialize                Initialize CVS root directory
            --repadd REPOS              Create a repository
            --repdel REPOS              Delete a repository
            --useradd USER REPOS...     Add user to listed repositories
            --userdel USER REPOS...     Remove user from listed
repositories
            --test                      Run regression test


The Perl script is available on my home page:

My CVS server is RH7.3.  I don't know if my idea or the Perl script will
work on Cygwin.


HTH,

David
