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.
