You don't specify the multiple groups in the passwd file. You add it
to the end of each group line in /etc/group. Check out group(5).

You have a owner specified in the /etc/passwd, with a cvspasswd file
in CVSROOT subdir mapping the users to the owner. This is not good for
development purposes as you lose $Author$ information.
