[cvsnt] cannot add local user

[Matt Schuckmann]

I think that the protocol you indicate in the CVSROOT string determines how
you authenticate
i.e. pserver allows you to authenticate localy via .passwd file
and sspi or sserver allows you to use domain authentication.

Do I understand this correctly because I think that I"m going to need to do
both also.
