Thanks Larry and Jeff, I learned some from both of your responses, and will definitely be using aspects of both responses. For this particular problem, the following seems to give me exactly what I need: I have only one unix account: cvsuser... In CVSROOT/passwd: user1::cvsuser user2::cvsuser user3::cvsuser
In taginfo: ALL $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/<script> $USER In <script>, the following command line arguments are now available: $1 The user who logged in via pserver- not necessarily the system user $2 tag name $3 operation (add, mov, del) $4 repository $5 file revision [file revision ...] So if user1 logs in and tries to tag something, <script> is kicked off, and $1=user1, while $USER=cvsuser This is exactly what I need.
