I can see by following the mailing list that many people have the same
problem as I have :-).

Now I have created a special user on the machine. That user will be there
only for cvs access. Now I have something like this in my passwd file:
bernard:<crypted password>:thecvsuser

I intend to make every cvs user use the real user 'thecvsuser'. My config
file has still the SystemAuth set to no.

The weird thing is: it still doesn't work, unless I leave the crypted
password field empty.

Would it only be a problem with the generated password. I note that pwdgen
is not included in the distribution anymore, could it be that this program
is making the problem?

Search the archives, this has been explained before. The users in the
password file must either exist as true domain users, or you must alias
them to an existing user. I'm also guessing that you are mis-understanding
the meaning of the SystemAuth parameter. It worked in older versions
because of a bug.
