password file

[thomas . maciejewski]

How can I create my own password file for CVS ...

I am getting this error when trying cvs login


      no such user <usename> in CVSROOT/passwd
      cvs login: authorization failed: server <server> rejected access to
<directory>/CVS for user <username>


I dont have a password file under CVSROOT ...
I assume I need one based on the emails that I have gotten from the group.

What does this look like and do I need this?
what if I set auth = n ?
