I'm not a :pserver: expert. But, doesn't the passwd file contain entries
like this?:
cvs_username:cvs_password:os_username
If you leave off the last part (os_username), then my understanding is
that CVS will assume that it is the same as cvs_username. For example:
bob:aw34ca3:bob
bob:aw34ca3
bob:aw34ca3:billy
The first line and the second line work exactly the same. For the third
line, you need to have an OS user named "billy" for bob's pserver
account to work correctly.
But, that is just my vague recollection of something I read about
something that I never use. So, I could be wrong. Please correct me.
Thanks,
Brian
