Hi,
in cvs doc: cvs/html-info/cvs_18.html#SEC177
There is an option in CVSROOT/config file, you can put:
SystemAuth=value
If value is `yes', then pserver should check for users in the system's
user database if not found in `CVSROOT/passwd'. If it is `no', then all
pserver users must exist in `CVSROOT/passwd'. The default is `yes'. For
more on pserver, see section 2.9.3 Direct connection with password authentication.
