I'm answering my own question here, but maybe it will help someone. Apparently if a user uses the ShadowHash authentication_authority, then you must create a $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file entry for them, as described above. I guess panther now defaults to using ShadowHash. To tell if the user you're having problems with uses ShadowHash, do:

niutil -read local@localhost /users/youruser

If you see the line "authentication_authority: ;ShadowHash;" then you'll need to do the passwd file stuff descibed earlier in this thread. The end result of that will be a line in the passwd file that looks like:

youruser:syw8996A9879sddns

assuming that youruser's password crypts to syw8996A9879sddns

Dave,
it definitely helped me! I used CVS with OS X 10.2 and didn't use a passwd file, I didn't even think I'd have to use it with 10.3!

So thanks a lot for replying your own question.

Armin
