I'd start by adding userid's to the system (/etc/passwd) and then configure the repository to get its users from the system. This is done in the config file when you check out the CVSROOT module. Once that works, you can get your cvs server to authenticate through your LDAP server just by getting PAM working for the system. Once you can ssh to the box using LDAP credentials, cvs should just work. Good luck! Brian
