I was hoping to not have to create UNIX user accounts on my CVS 
machine so for security I can just create user accounts in the 
CVSROOT/passwd file, which all act in UNIX as, say, user "cvs"... But 
if I have user "feeder" which checks out and locks a file as user 
"cvs", will user "eater" be able to unlock the file and edit it? 
Though "eater" authenticates with a different password, "eater" is 
also using "cvs" as it's user on the UNIX system as shown in the 
passwd file.

ie:
> cat ~cvs/CVSROOT/passwd 

eater:lbAD1Z$oMX762:cvs
feeder:$1$SNOFMmo5$/JLpY3Fi2lpa8KI4eTXC11:cvs
