Running under a non-root account has never been supported by cvs (of
any flavour) since it needs to be able to change its user id...
Aliasing all the users in passwd to the same user works (since you are
able to change to your own user id) and is the way it's been achieved
in the past.

I believe cvsd is designed only for standard Unix cvs, although you
could ask the author whether he's prepared to support cvsnt - it's not
something I can do anything about as it's entirely a separate
application.
