Your whole plan sounds good. Looks like your only hangup is the users. I'd 
start by adding userid's to the system (/etc/passwd) and then configure 
the repository to get its users from the system. This is done in the 
config file when you check out the CVSROOT module. Once that works, you 
can get your cvs server to authenticate through your LDAP server just by 
getting PAM working for the system. Once you can ssh to the box using LDAP 
credentials, cvs should just work. 

Good luck!
