Steven, I saw something somewhere about copying a shadows etc file in order to get a password. I don't know Linux syntax so I didn't really pay attention, and I could not find the link when I searched a second time, sorry. Here is a link to an online reference book that I'm finding helpful. It's about CVS, not CVSNT. It does talk about Linux flavors. http://safari.informit.com/JVXSL.asp?x=1&mode=section&sortKey=title&sortOrder=asc&view=&xmlid=0-596-00459-1&g=&catid=&s=1&b=1&f=1&t=1&c=1&u=1&r=&o=1&n=1&d=1&p=1&srchText= Essential CVS By Jennifer Vesperman You can read the book free if you finish it within 14days, else I think it's $14.99 for a 30 day subscription.
