Only in the commit support files, because it needs to support the escape 
syntax.

The command line is unchanged (you need double backslash when logging in 
from unix because the shell does escaping, not cvsnt).

TBH I wouldn't bother with the passwd file... it's an anacronism these days.

Note that for the domain to work over pserver the client *must* have a 
valid trust relationship with the domain otherwise the domain controller 
will refuse to authenticate the client.  It really isn't a simple 
configuration to do that kind of multiple-domain stuff... you have to 
make sure that the users you're using on the cvsnt server have correct 
network login rights for the cross-domain connection and that's 
something that is down to your network administrators.

OTOH it does work on properly configured networks - I've setup such 
servers myself at client sites.. they were exclusively sspi though - 
pserver is too much of a security hole to be allowed on corporate 
networks normally.
