Direct connection with password authentication
----------------------------------------------

   The CVS client can also connect to the server using a password
protocol.  This is particularly useful if using `rsh' is not feasible
(for example, the server is behind a firewall), and Kerberos also is
not available.

   To use this method, it is necessary to make some adjustments on both
the server and client sides.
