I think Jon wants to supply something that's not a username on his system at all. (... and I think you'd argue that this is meant to be a username on the CVS server rather than any random token.

I'd argue that both bits of information are, perhaps, important. (Not that I've got a good suggestion for how to preserve them both.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter [EMAIL PROTECTED]
