Well there might not be that many more server settings but the
lockserver thing should in my mind be considered a server rather than
a repository issue for example.
But there is another of my favourites:
- why not control the available protocols from the control panel?
Today the only way to disable pserver and ntserver is to actually
physically remove the corresponding dll:s. Should be an enable/disable
checkbox in Control Panel instead.

Of course things like scripts and access control should rightly be in
the CVSROOT files so they could be tuned differently.
