The easiest thing to do would be to make the CVS repository owned by the
Developers group, with the setgid flag set (i.e., "chmod g+s"), readable
and writeable to the group.  Then any user that belongs to the Developers
group should be able to ssh in and access the repository (using the :ext:
method with ssh).

The cvs passwd is used in the :pserver: method, which you probably don't
want to use.
