Hmm, I've never been in any environement where CVS didn't have it's
own, separate, password and group files. So this should not yield an actual
user passwords. Assuming the password is different then the system one.
I agree that the error messages should be terser in order to leak
less information, possibly with an n seconds timeout after an error.
