Shadow passwords on Mac OS X (Panther)

[John Gee]

I am running a cvs server with pserver on Mac OS X 10.3.4. The old 
password type on Mac OS X was crypt, which works fine for pserver 
authentication falling through to the system users. The new password 
types of Open Directory and Shadow are not recognised by cvs.

Is there an easy way to get cvs to recognise the newer password types 
through pserver? I have got as far as determining that there is no 
getspnam function available, and that /usr/include/gssapi has gssapi.h 
and gssapi_generic.h and gssapi_krb5.h. Is turning on gssapi support 
relevant? (I have not used gssapi before.)

(I know a work-around is to add pserver passwords for each user, and 
that is what I am using right now.)

Thanks,
