7.8.2006: Support for /etc/cvs.passwd	cvs	1.12.9
This patch adds support for /etc/cvs.passwd instead of individual CVSROOT/passwd files. The latter has the disadvantage of passwords being distributed via CVS and maybe cvsweb/viewcvs as well. This poses a security risk. Hence, Debian System Administration has introduced the /etc/cvs.passwd file for real passwords. The format of the password lines is the same as for CVSROOT/passwd. Each password section is prefixed with the name of the corresponding CVS repository.
