Hello Mike,

You should create a file called "readers" in the CVSROOT directory in
your repository.
In this file, you should put login names of users that have read-only
access to the repository, one login name per line.

See explanation here:
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.12.13/cvs_2.html#SEC38

This feature also exists on the 1.11 branch of CVS. In the same site
you can see it also in the manual of 1.11.22.
