If you run CVS on a network where you can trust people enough that you're confortable running telnet or rlogin, then pserver is fine.Telnet and rlogin and similar still provide on heck of a lot more accountability (over a trusted network) than pserver could ever possibly do.
Is there more than one way to run Pserver? All my pserver users have accounts on the unix box (err "unix network") and they have to suplly a username and password to "cvs login" (most of them are wincvs users).
how does this not give the same accountability as telnet or rlogin? everything they do has their username/group on it (commits adds etc)
Maybe I missed the boat somewhere, but I don't get how this is different than if they werre on the box using local cvs commands and no pserver connection.
If you have a trusted network and you do feel comfortable with telnet and rlogin then USE THEM -- DO NOT USE PSERVER.
