You want to investigate cvs in "pserver" mode.  /etc/inetd.conf
already has a sample line for enabling it, and all you really need to
do is create a file with username+passwords for those who need to
access it.  I would also protect cvspserver with TCP wrappers in
/etc/hosts.allow to keep idiot portscanners from bothering you.
