RE: cvs login

[Karl-Koenig Koenigsson]

If you specify "pserver" as the protocol in your CVSROOT definition, the
server side of CVS will take username and passwords from your /etc/passwd
file; a user not found in /etc/passwd with an entry in CVS password file
will be accepted as well, given that the passwords match of course.

See
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#The_Password-Authenticating_Server.
