It is REALLY confusing because it is used in many places for different purposes such as: CVSROOT environment variable CVSROOT cvs connection string CVSROOT directory for administrative files CVSROOT module on the server sigh... But what I meant was that you must place the file into the CVSROOT subdirectory of the repository on the server. And you MUST NOT add the passwd file to the checkoutlist file! You must handle this special file outside of the CVS versioning. Otherwise anyone checking out CVSROOT module will get access to the passwd file! There must be one passwd file in each repository and yes, you can have different user lists in the different repositories.
