[ILUG] CVS & Winbind Auth nastyness

[ILUG] CVS & Winbind Auth nastyness

Howdy all,.

I've been fighting with this for a while. Basically I have a CVS
service that alas I can't replace with something like svn or git. I've
been trying to get auth to work via winbind (yep I know the security
considerations), however I've not been too lucky here.

Auth is working fine via winbinds as I can do local access no bother.
When attempting to log in via cvs I get a password mismatch error;

Mar 11 09:58:26 srv-001-10-23 cvs: password mismatch for aj.mckee:
Mar 11 10:05:56 srv-001-10-23 cvs: login failure (for /var/cvs/testproj)

Anyone got an ideas as to what I am missing?

TIA
AJ
