Thanks for the quick response and info!  :-)

If it got to the point where I had to modify CVS to
support using the passwd file for user mappings (possibly
from multiple Kerberos realms), would this be of something
of general interest to submit back into the CVS source
distribution?  I've looked at the code yet, so I'm not
sure how easily this could be done.

Thanks again,
