I also have a question.Maybe you have told about it but only I'm not
understand. I want to know,via :ext:/SSH,weather a user must be and
OS user?No matter how security the ssh is.I don't want give them
the OS account.The /CVSROOT/passwd file, :pserver: give a way needn't
system account but still can access the CVS repository.Is ssh also
can do so? I'm afraid it can't,because I tried but failed.
