Hello,
Do the developers also have UNIX accounts? Then don't use the CVSROOT/passwd
file, I don't think there's any really good reason to use it.
It's easier to set up a phony shell that doesn't allow logins and use
the UNIX user account system if you don't want people logging into the
box.
Of course, if you don't have root or don't want to do this then you'll
have to wait for someone with more experience with loginfo to reply ;)
HTH,
Rob Helmer
