no, you don't have to restart the server anyway, the server
(cvsnt.exe) is started when ever you ask your client to execute any
command.

No, AFAIKT there must be only plain user names, one per line.
But may be this functionality only works for unix installations?
No, I checked the sources. Even on windows before checking any group
membership the CVSROOT/admin file is checked for the user names, but
there might be an issue!
The code checks for '\n' as name delimiter and if you created the file
on WIN32 it has CR/LF delimiters. So it may be usefull to translate
the file to unix line endings to get around this 'feature' :-)
(This is not a bug, because all files handled by the server are handled
in unix-mode to keep the repository binary compatible to unix
installations.)
