Indeed, the solution was a hook in verifymsg, but I'm not sure if in
cvsnt's implementation write access is allowed to the log file - a
search in this mailing list suggests it's not, and there is no
RereadLogAfterVerify parameter.
The script is reproduced bellow.
#!/bin/bash
# Bash-specific syntax is used
#
# This script will append the real name of the user doing the commit to
the message
# To enable, add the following line to REPO/CVSROOT/verifymsg :
# DEFAULT /full/path/to/this/script
# Make sure you have this enabled (default) in REPO/CVSROOT/config :
# RereadLogAfterVerify=always
# (This command, and editting the cvs commit log, are not supported on
cvsnt)
#
# Comments:
# stelian.ene[a]freescale.com
# Get the real name of the user
NAME=$(finger ${USER} | awk '{for (i=7;i<NF;i++) print $i " "; print
$NF; exit;}')
MSGFILE="$1"
# Check the name lenth, allow for chinese people
if [ ${#NAME} -gt 3 ] && [ ${#NAME} -lt 50 ]; then
# if we have a valid file to write into
if [ -f $MSGFILE ]; then
# append the real name to the commit message
echo -n [$NAME] >> $MSGFILE
fi
fi
# allways return 0, never cancel commits because of this silly script
exit 0

You could write a script that runs on commit. It should be fairly
simple
to grab the commit message and prepend the user's id. Use your favorite
scripting language and reference it in verifymsg like this:
DEFAULT /path/to/cvsnt/scripts/scriptname
or the Windows equivalent. Search google for verifymsg script for
information and ideas. But if all you want is to see occasionally who
committed what when, I would use the cvs history command.
