An alias?

Are you in fact creating a user in the /etc/passwd file? if you want to use=
 it as an alias you have to copy the SSID part of the real user to the alia=
s user.

As an option, an much easier, have you considered adding a user in CVS?  Yo=
u just have to add a passwd file into the reporitory's CVSROOT, an entry of=
 the form: <pserver-user> <encrypted-password> <real-username>

I don't understand what you are doing here, what version of CVS understands=
 the command "passwd"?

It looks like it worked, what is the problem?

You seem to be using a modified CVS, so why ask here?

My Cederqvist manual for CVS 1.12.12 says "Someday, there may be a cvs pass=
wd command", I know that is not the latest version but the latest in Cygwin=
 packages is 1.11.21 (latest stable).
