Re: need to force username of cvs 'action' when using sharedSSHaccount

[tim grote]

>From the cvs manual: 

"Multiple users sharing an rsh account
If multiple users share an account on the CVS server
and access it with rsh, then there is normally no way
to distinguish which user made a particular checkin.
One clever solution, which requires no CVS
modification, is to have each user set CVS_SERVER to a
script which sets LOGNAME and USER to something
unique, and then invokes the CVS server. Might want to
document this somewhere (and add to sanity.sh)." 

So, has anyone done this?!?!?!

They are fine with sharing.

Our mailboxes don't correspond shell accounts.
