If you're getting syslog messages, you're not running CVS 1.11; you're
running some version of the current development version.  If your syslog
defines an LOG_AUTHPRIV facility, CVS will use it to log the username
and password it tried to use; if not, you could change to code in
server.c to log it elsewhere for debugging purposes.  Note that these
messages indicate that it is a username/password problem, not an invalid
repository problem.

I don't understand how this case is different than the previous one --
both are users defined in CVSROOT/passwd, right?
