User with CVS (thru SSH) rights only

[Sen7inel]

Hi,

how to configure such a user account on a Linux box, that it could not logon to shell, but still use cvs thru secure connection? I don't know how the ssh-cvs-connection actually works, so is this possible in the first place?

Only a wild guess:
Specify /dev/null as loginshell in passwd?

That was my first attempt, which failed miserably. It just keeps asking the password, just as if you would try to create an ordinary terminal session (which it just might try, like I said, I have no idea how the connection works behind scenes).
