Re: User as which cvs server is running?

[Shubhabrata Sengupta]

Nope the cvs server runs with the user-id of the user who is performing the
CVS operation - most of the time (except for the authentication part at the
beginning I guess)
If you are mapping user-ids using the CVSROOT/password file then it will run
with the user-id to which you have mapped it.

Thanks
