RE: running commands as user with SystemAuth=yes

[Arthur Barrett]

To have CVS/CVSNT authenticate against other password databases (eg:
LDAP/NIS, etc/passwd etc) simply use PAM:

Here is a sample /etc/pam.d/cvsnt:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so

See:
http://cvs-nserver.sourceforge.net/doc/unstable/admin-guide/html_node/cv
s-admin-guide_9.html

And also:
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/cvsmanual/cvs_30.html

I'm not sure if the "downloadable" builds of cvs have been built with
"./configure --enable-pam", but CVSNT on Linux certainly is ;)
