CVS and password


From: Colin Bester

I have my cvs server running on a linux box and am using pserver mode to
connect.
When I have the CVSROOT/config file set SystemAuth=yes then cvs -d
:pserver:address@hidden:/myrepos login works and I can log in using
username and the system password for username.

I then used passwd command to change the password to something else and
cut and paste the new password field into the CVSROOT/config file

 e.g. 

 username:sB3A79YDX5l4s

I also set SystemAuth=no

And then did a commit on both config and passwd (after adding passwd).

When trying to log on I now get:
"no such user username in CVSROOT/passwd
cvs login: authorization failed: server homenet.net rejected access to
/myrepos for user username"

If I view the passwd file directly under the CVSROOT directory then I
can see username.
I have also tried setting passwd file as:
 username:
as one would do for anonymous users, but same result.

At all times I used edit and commit to make changes to file.

Any suggestions
