[TriLUG] cvs CVSROOT/modules

[William Sutton]

hmm...well my pea brain figured if it was a test module and a test 
directory it made sense to name them the same thing ;)

As I mentioned they are trying to do ldap authentication, so I figured 
pserver was what I wanted...is there another proto I should use given that 
the clients probably will be on windows systems w/o ssh?
