Synopsis: pserver

   * Alternate names - None

   * Requires - Repository

   * Changes - Nothing

This is the password-authenticating server.  This command is not
normally run directly by users but is started up from `/etc/inetd.conf'
on the server side when a user connects from a client with the
`:pserver:' access method. (See also the Note: login and Note:
logout commands, and the file `.cvspass' in the Note: Run Control
Files section in this chapter.  See Note: Repository Administration
for details on setting up a password-authenticating CVS server.)

Options: None.
