I hope you're really running CVS 1.10 and that you just made a typo; if
not, you need to upgrade (see www.cyclic.com), preferably to the most
recent release (1.10.8).
According to the man pages on my AIX 4.3 system, getpwnam() will
automagically get the password from /etc/security/passwd as long as the
caller has read permission on that file, so you don't need to do
anything special other than make sure that whatever user inetd initially
runs cvs as has read access to /etc/security/passwd.
