Ok. Thus, there will be three functions for passwords reading
getcvspwent(int mode);
getcvspwnam(const char * username, int mode);
endcvspwent(int mode);
where mode is
enum cvspwmode {CPM_LOCAL, CPM_ROOT, CPM_CURRENT};
CPM_CURRENT is necessary for consequent calls to getcvspwent() function;

NT user name, of course.
Ok. I try to explain again (sorry, English is not my native language).
My UNIX account name is 'dron' but my CVS account is 'arist'. Thus, with
current implementation of 'password' I'm able to change my password for
'arist' running 'cvs pass arist'
