TH> Hmm...  How much of a diff is this from the cvs-1.80.8.tar.gz?  

It almost cleanly applies to cvs-1.10.8 and, as the matter of fact, the new 
release of cvs-nserver will be against 1.10.8.  The most significant
modification of original code is the removal of about 600 lines from
server.c, yet it is still way, way too long.

There is an obvious task to improve server.c by splitting kerberos- and
GSSAPI-related code from it thus creating cvs-kserver and cvs-gserver.
There is probably also need to create cvs-sslserver (I have not
investigated yet whether we could get along with ssl-tunnel'ed server (we
surely can not get along with ssl-tunneled client as it almost has nothing
to tunnel)). 

TH> It'd be nice to be able to add this to the NT version.

It seems to me that checkpassword scheme is sub-perfect for NT though I
could be wrong.  I've tried to research security aspects of NT but has not
reached considerable results.  And after I learned about your project and
changed job recently hoping not to see MS in a lifetime no more (though it
seems like I will have to anyway) I completely relaxed and thought that I'd
be better off with CVS under UNIX.  Though I will be glad if nserver will
influence the development of NT-CVS or vice versa.
