I think this may be a bit too specific and outside the scope of cvsd. In any case it is very common to synchronise userids with something like nis or ldap. It is on the TODO to use getent in cvsd-buildroot to do userid checking instead of grep of /etc/passwd to also support other password mechanisms. I have rephrased the text a little to mention also the case where the userids in the chroot jail do not match the system passwd entries. -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
