Is there some reason you would prefer to send your passwords over the
network in clear-text?  Why not just use CVS via SSH?  CVS is more
secure via SSH than pserver.  I have found that to be even easier to set
up.

If there are users who should not have shell access but should be able
to run CVS via SSH, that is not too tough either.
