The former. Just setup sshd on the same machine as CVS server, then have
each client do the following on their machine

1) Along with setting the CVSROOT variable, also set CVS_RSH=ssh

2) Configure the ssh client so that it can login to their account on the
server machine without requiring an interactive login (I've never done that
for ssh, so I can't tell you how to do it.

(An alternative to (2) if you're just providing anonymous read-only access
to CVS would be to setup an account on the server that didn't require a
password for ssh access. But then you get into the whole can of worms with
protecting the rest of the system from that account.)
