Note that my unprivileged server patch (attached to the message quoted
above) makes changes only to the server.  Any client able to do normal
:gserver: authentication can use the patched server.

I forgot to mention, however, that CVS 1.11.2 has a bug which prevents
its client code from ever making a :gserver: connection successfully.
So the thronging masses who have eagerly installed Kerberos to try the
above patch have doubtless been frustrated at not being able to
connect.

The following patch applies to your cvs-1.11.2 tree the changes
already in the development version of cvs to get :gserver: working:

client-1.11.2-gserver.patch
