The great advantage of :pserver: is that people *don't* need an
account to access this.  The CVS server has its own passwd file and
checks that for people who use that protocol to access CVS.  Do not
confuse this with the rsh access to CVS which is also possible where
people need an account on your system.

(The disadvantage of :pserver: is that the password and all data are
transmitted in the clear, but the CVS :pserver: isn't the only program
that has this problem...)
