What I meant was this, which is how I believe it works:
writers file:
will contain users that are allowed to both read and write

readers file:
will contain users allowed to read but not write

A user present in the writers file is automatically granted read
permission (no use with a write only access, right?).

With this setup I do believe that anyone not listed in one of these
files will be disallowed any access to CVS at all.

Thus with an empty but existing readers file and a writers file with
the allowed developers noone but the developers will have access.

Or???
