I'm not sure, I'd have to check with my Windows users who do CVS checkouts
via ssh and see if their clients would support that.  I suppose it might
work.  I'd still like to see a way to specify on a per-account basis or at
least see root as a special case.

As Russell mentioned, you also have to worry about client security -
physical as well as password security of your user's accounts if they're
coming in on machines that allow password login, etc...  But in general it
might be a better way to go.  I'll mull it over.

Thanks,
