[cvsnt] how to able a disabled account

[Vitali Lovich]

I think you've mixed up the command.  The paramater for -r is the real 
user name, -a is the alias.

So, if testuser is the account that works,

cvs passwd -r testuser -a cvsadmin

Will add the user cvsadmin as an alias for the user testuser.
