I used htpasswd -n to output the user:passwd information and placed that
into the passwd file for CVS.

Thanks.
I tried that but the encrypted string in /etc/shadow is a lot longer
than what is in a passwd file in another repo.
It look like that in the other file:
simon:TsNInUhhgjEVM
I remember running a command that added the user to the file, but I
don't remember what I did.

Here's how I do it on my Sun box
1. If necessary, reset the persons password
2. Look in the /etc/shadow file and find the username you are
working with
3. Copy the users encrypted password from /etc/shadow (this will be
all characters between the first and second colon)
4. Go into /opt/cvsroot/CVSROOT and copy the users info into this
file (or replace as necessary), in the following format
<username>:<encrypted password copied from
/etc/shadow>):<username>
5. Save and exit

Hi,
I need to add users to a CVS passwd file.
How do I do that? I did it last year but now I don't remember what I
did.
Thanks!
