Has anybody made a long wishlist of things to be changed in pserver? 
I think the idea behind pserver is ok, but when I see these uppercase letters 
above I wonder what we could/should do about it if it should work properly. 

Or maybe just give the message "DO NOT _EVER_ USE PSERVER FOR NON-ANONYMOUS 
ACCESS!!!!" when you do a 'cvs login' ?  ;-)
