Is there more than one way to run Pserver?  All my pserver users have 
accounts on the unix box (err "unix network") and they have to suplly a 
username and password to "cvs login" (most of them are wincvs users).

how does this not give the same accountability as telnet or rlogin?  
everything they do has their username/group on it (commits adds etc)

Maybe I missed the boat somewhere, but I don't get how this is different 
than if they werre on the box using local cvs commands and no pserver 
connection.
