Hey there, I'm just beginning to use CVSNT, and I pretty much have it
working to my satisfaction.  I'm quite pleased.

I have run into one issue, though, hence my email.   Here it is:

I'd like to use pserver with passwords out of the passwd file(CVS
passwords). I set everything up on my server, and then everything up on my
client, or so I thought.  However, it seems that I've got pserver in place
with system passwords(the password I use to login to my NT account), as
that's what I had to enter to make my connection happen.  Obviously, I'd
prefer to not be passing my NT account password with such weak encryption,
any suggestions on what to do to change it to cvs passwords?  I followed
all the online instructions at devguy, some key pieces of info about my
server setup:

HOME: U:\
CVSROOT: :local:g:\cvsroot

U:\.passwd is an empty file

g:\cvsroot\CVSROOT\config is between the dashes (I edited it by checking it
out):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
# Set this to "no" if pserver shouldn't check system users/passwords
SystemAuth=no

# Put CVS lock files in this directory rather than directly in the repository.
#LockDir=/var/lock/cvs

# Set `TopLevelAdmin' to `yes' to create a CVS directory at the top
# level of the new working directory when using the `cvs checkout'
# command.
#TopLevelAdmin=no

# Set `LogHistory' to `all' or `TOFEWGCMAR' to log all transactions to the
# history file, or a subset as needed (ie `TMAR' logs all write operations)
#LogHistory=TOFEWGCMAR
----------------------------------------------------

I wasn't sure where the right place was to put the password file, so I now
have .passwd and passwd in many places.  I had an encrypted password in the
file (aaron:XXXXXX), but then I went to "aaron:" to ensure that any
password would work.  It didn't work in either case.

So now, I have a file at g:\cvsroot\CVSROOT\passwd with content:
--------------------
aaron:

---------------------
(there is a new line in there, it didn't work when there was no newline,
either).

I think that's the place the file belongs, but I have the same contents at
g:\cvsroot\CVSROOT\.passwd, as well as passwd and .passwd  in g:\cvsroot,
just to be safe.

 From what I've read, I believe that should be all I need to do.  Is there
something else?

My server version is:
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) NT 1.11.1.2 (Build 41)
  (client/server)

by the way.

Incidentally, I use the control panel to interact with CVS for NT on my
server, I have all the boxes checked(NT and pserver, and both
impersonations.  My registry value StartPServer is set to 1, too.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Aaron
