Access to CVSROOT/passwd mapped username

2000-04-10 Thread Rodent of Unusual Size
Greetings. As I understand it, the USER variable is set to the username of the server-local user actually accessing the repository. In the case of a pserver-accessed repository, with usernames mapped through the CVSROOT/passwd file mechanism, this will typically be the value of the third field
