[cvsnt] cvs installation

[Bo Berglund]

Did you go through the step-by-step I have on this URL?:
http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/InstallCVSNT.html

It deals with the complete installation and setup, but on this subject
I have a small section too:
http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/InstallCVSNT.html#AddUsers

The admin file is a simple list of user logins that are allowed to act
as CVS admins. The login goes on an otherwise empty line, ine for each
login. Please note that the login is case sensitive.
Like so:
