[cvsnt] CVSNT without Password Agent

[Rob Oxspring]

Thanks Bo,

It never occurred to me that you could put a password in the root!  Just 
the kind of RTFM I was expecting but polite too.

Yeah, the security thing doesn't bother me - the build and cvs servers 
are next to each other in the rack and are equally locked down... if 
people can hack one they can hack the other anyway :)

I'm not sure that a fatalistic attitude to security is clever but it'll 
do me for now.
