CVS works with *repositories* as top level separations. Each
repository defines its own pserver and sserver users and also its
group members.
So, yes, you will have to define users in all of your repositories if
you use pserver and sserver.
With sspi it is different, because these are *system* users and are
inherited to all repositories from the operating system itself.

Why do you have multiple repositories?
Normally one would use one repository and divide the files into
modules below thta repository instead.
