Oh.  Neat.  I didn't know it could do that.  Um...can it do that?

The pserver option implies that you've already set up CVSROOT/pserver.

"The CVS password file is CVSROOT/passwd in the repository. It was not created 
by default when you ran cvs init, because CVS doesn't know for sure that 
you'll be using pserver. Even if the password file had been created, CVS 
would have no way of knowing what usernames and passwords to create. So, 
you'll have to create one yourself;"
