If as a developer you are using a different password than before it

Actually not, the CVS password scrambling is a simple text encoding, see
http://www.rootr.net/man/info/cvsclient
"Password scrambling algorithm", and
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=457764
because the new infrastructure does not provide a
CVS server anymore. Thus we now also allow unencrypted passwords to
be used for authentication for the EIS SOAP services. If you have
changed your password you must configure the CVS_PASSWORD variable
in your $HOME/.cwsrc
See http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/.cwsrc
Oh there is a link with a tool for doing the CVS scrambeling mentioned
there. Nice!
file and can use it unencrypted there now. Be
sure to not accidentally make that file public readable than.
Also not with a scrambled password..
because it´s as easy to descramble than to scramble and as Bruce
Schneier would say: "That´s something that will stop your kid sister
from reading your files, but not security".
