Good. It reads:

Another possibility is that your system uses something different for providing 
user information (nis/ldap/etc) and that your chroot passwd file (e.g. 
/var/lib/cvsd/etc/passwd) does not contain the right users. In this case it may 
be needed to rerun cvsd-buildroot and check it's output (and possibly the 
output of cvsd-buginfo) to see which users are missing.

Could you change it to this (add new paragraph after the above):

In NFS environment the uid/gid field values must be same across the whole 
network in order to mount shares with correct permissions. In case these values 
have been changed, you must also remember to check /var/lib/cvsd/etc/passwd to 
reflect the changes in uid/gid.
