I can definitely apply any of your patches, but let's get your commit
squared away as well.

dlr@icarus:dlr$ grep 'John Wilson' /etc/passwd
jwilson:*:1467:1467:John Wilson:/home/jwilson:/usr/local/bin/tcsh
dlr@icarus:dlr$ grep jwilson /home/cvs/CVSROOT/avail
avail|twl,hannes,jvanzyl,lucas,leonardr,thorhauer,dlr,dirkx,jon,jwilson,mpoeschl|xml-site,xml-rpc

The above confirms that you are setup for commit access.  Your
authentication info must be incorrect.  What CVS repository are you
connecting to?

dlr@despot:xml-rpc$ echo $CVS_RSH 
ssh
dlr@despot:xml-rpc$ cat CVS/Root 
dlr@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvs

The above settings use SSH for CVS authentication, either doing key
auth (which is what I have setup so that I don't have to type a
password), or prompting for a password and authenticating against
cvs.apache.org's /etc/passwd file.

You have a firm grasp on these issues.  I'm up for whatever you think
is the right approach.
