I've cc'd the mailing list 'cos part of my response may be important to others.
The patches I've posted are incremental meaning that you'll have to apply each
of the preceding ones before the one you really need. Of course, this means
that you may get more than you wanted. You might want to manually apply the
patches (probably in an ad hoc manner) so that you get only the things you want.
If you've been following the mailing list, I've come to the decision that this
patch is very BAD. Conceivably, many client users may wind up with the same
client username. This could be disastrous if this patch were used in such an
environment. I plan to remove this patch once I have some time. A kludge to
this problem may be to make the client hostname as part of the username that's
logged by CVS. I haven't thought of the consequences of such a patch though (it
may be more disastrous than the existing patch).
The real solution would be to have CVS maintain its own user identities and have
pluggable authentication support. From what I think I know, nserver-cvs may be
headed in this direction. I haven't looked much into this yet, though.
I've enclosed our client.c, but it's probably dependent on other patches I've
made. However, I have warned you of the consequences of using this patch.

I have installed the above mentioned patch, but it is not working for
me. The problem is that I am not sure, if I have patched the client.c
file properly. Would it be possible for you to supply me with a
patched version of the "client.c" source file ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers,
Norbert
