Okay. :-) (I just hope you didn't hur Arthur Barrett's feelings. :-) I honestly think that the cvsnt stuff has its place in the scheme of things. I just wish they didn't have so many different authentication methods... I am enough of a realist to know that there will be many different clients out there as well as more than one server implementation. I think of this as mostly being healthy. I am also looking with interest to see what the OpenBSD folks do with their OpenCVS implementation of cvs. > I'd assume most people out there use the CVS > 1.11 branch of things, so I'd stick passwd in > the feature release for the hard-edge to test, > and then maybe a back-port? Well, it is hoped that sometime this year 1.12.x will become the STABLE release and 1.11.x would become deprecated. We have been resisting putting anything but bug fixes into 1.11.x and a new option like 'cvs password' would not fit the criteria for an official backport. If you wanted to provide a patch that folks applied to older releases, you could that. > Well, if I'd do it, I'd do it because of: > 1) It seems useful (Jim suggested such) Yup, I am sure there are a number of folks who believe it to be useful. > 2) Larry, Derek, and you Mark would want it in > the general CVS...
