Are you using CVS over pserver or ssh?  If it's over ssh, add a user on 
the system for "someone" and don't add them to the group that has write 
access to the cvs repository.

There's more info on CVS repository management in the CVS book:

I recommend that you buy it if you're doing important stuff with CVS.
