It depends on what connection method you're using. For a local
repository or for a remote repository accessed with :ext: or :server:,
CVS uses the user-ID. For a remote repository accessed with :pserver:,
CVS uses a username and password. When using :pserver:, it is possible
to map multiple users to the same Unix user; see:
<http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_2.html#SEC29>
If you do that, however, you're giving up the ability to use system file
permissions to control what individual users can do.

The problem with the future is that it keeps turning into the present.
