ip addresses doesn't matter, but if you've changed all the host_name 
variables it will be difficult to reproduce the errors you're seeing.

Nopes. Ethan holds CVS access tight, so he's the only one. I've set up a 
git repository though (soon available from ghost.op5.se) where I keep 
patches we (OP5) use, along with some experimental stuff I intend to 
submit for the 3.0 branch. When I've tested the patches there I'll send 
them to Ethan and hopefully he'll apply them to the master repo. git is 
nice for this, as it has tools to automatically send commits as patch 
emails, and the distributed repository model works much better for open 
source development than cvs, which requires trusting everybody in the 
core team with the entire core.

I'm not sure. I'll see if I can start looking at this tonight, but I'm 
fairly busy with other projects as well so I can't promise anything.
