Thus saith the Cederqvist:
Unlike many of the files in @file{$CVSROOT/CVSROOT}, it
is normal to edit the @file{passwd} file in-place,
rather than via @sc{cvs}. This is because of the
possible security risks of having the @file{passwd}
file checked out to people's working copies. If you do
want to include the @file{passwd} file in checkouts of
@file{$CVSROOT/CVSROOT}, see @xref{checkoutlist}.
