How to disable CVS (or SSH) ?

Hi all,
I would like to prevent access to the CVS server during backups. Users access it via SSH, and it is the only purpose of this box. So disabling weather CVS or SSH would be OK.
If someone has ideas about how to do it or about the pros and cons of both approches, your help will be appreciated!
Thanks!

Well, you could stop the CVS daemon during the backup, that would do it.

You could also look at man 5 nologin for a way to disable all logins (except root), which you could then apply while you're doing your backups.
