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@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
