It looks like getspnam doesn't exist, but getpwnam()
does on aix, and further, according to the man page,
getpwnam will look in /etc/security/passwd if the
process has privilege to do so.. (is running as root)...
So maybe it will work after all, if you run CVS as root.
(though this surely defeat any security gained by
keeping passwds in /etc/security/passwd)
Have you tried to make it work?
Maybe I will try it later today.
