FYI for the chroot jail, as you have your repository in /home/cvsroot,
you'd have put the jail in /home or /home/cvsroot itself (this will put 
the repository at the root of the jail which I think works but isn't ideal).

Normally I'd have an extra layer as in:

Repository0=/home/cvsroot/cvs
Repository0Name=/cvs
Chroot=/home/cvsroot
RunAsUser=nobody

Then create a /home/cvsroot/tmp writable by the 'nobody' user for the 
server to store its temp files in.

There's no need to have a /lib or /bin in the jail in you're not running 
scripts so it's pretty safe.
