I was just getting ready to ask about this.  I got a book on using
CVS, _Open Source Development with CVS_ by Karl Fogel, and was reading
the section on setting up a password authenticating server.  It appears
that an inetd based method using pserver is all that available then
and that's just one more service that I would have to worry about.
I'd much rather just force everyone to use sshd.

I see that you mention that in your next note, Tom.  So I'll read
it and look at sshd more.

Thanks,

Scott
