problems trying to use both PAM and CVSROOT/passwd

[Neil B. Morley]

Dear cvs users,

I am trying to use the pam authentication in 1.12.11 with and ldap 
database. But I want to transition my users slowly to make sure they have 
no problems and downtime. However, if I have pam enabled, I can't seem to 
get access for users still in the passwd file. It allows login, but any 
checkout operations give me the error:

PAM open session error: System error
cvs [checkout aborted]: recv() from server cvsdns2: EOF

Does anyone have any idea if this is fixable. I see a bug report about this 
behavior at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72251
but not sure if this is a bug or some setup issue.

Thanks for the help... --neil
