You might want to provide us some "general" details about what you are
wanting to version control. There may be a better tool than CVS depending
on what types of files and what the usage actually is.
Assuming CVS is the right tool for the job...
All things CVS start a
http://www.cvshome.org. Get Webmin on the Linux
server. It makes CVS server configuration and admin much easier.
We use
http://wincvs.org/ for Windows clients but it is a standalone app
as opposed to Explorer integrated. I have not used Tortoise but it is
well known and appears supported well.

CVS does NOT provide any significant security so, no, it is not redundant.
This looks like a very brief howto without much explanation:

This focuses on WinCVS on the client but may also help your client setup
efforts:

Someone should have something similar written for Tortoise but I'll let
you find that one. ;^)
