I haven't checked the CVS source code, but it seems to me that if CVS does not find the password file in CVSROOT or the user in that file it falls back to using /etc/passwd, but it reads it directly, and not making calls to PAM. I have been unable to make it authenticate with NT yet, and I think that probably NIS and LDAP would suffer the same problem. I have the idea of setting up kerberos authentication agains a Windows 2000 Active Directory, but haven't had the time to test it. If you have the time and succeed, please post your results.
