hey,
Thanks for the pserver help. the line you gave me worked out perfectly. I
was not aware that the ntserver was a CVS-NT specific command. I have been
using a cvs.exe client that I downloaded from the CVSHome.org site
(1.11.1p1). What does the "/c//" do that "c:" couldn't?
I do have a follow-up question though.
For some reason, when I connect to the server using the pserver line you
suggested, I can't use absolute paths to reference the CVS files.
cvs -d :pserver:harpm@HARPM:/c//cvs_root log c:\myproj\mysubproj\sub1.txt
gives me an error of,
absolute pathname `c:/myproj/mysubproj' illegal for server
If I connect with a -d c:\cvs_root the absolute paths work fine. I can also
connect to the cvsnt.org stuff using the pserver line they recommend in the
readme and absolute paths work fine, so that makes me think that either my
server is setup wrong (there isn't really anything to configure on it
though, so i'm not sure where the problem could be) or maybe my CVSROOT
information isn't configured quite correctly.
Anyone know what might be causing the problem? Your help is greatly
appreciated.

Don't edit any of the files starting with ".#". You should checkout the
CVSROOT module, edit the files, and checkin again. If this doesn't work
yet because of configuration problems, just edit the files directly, e.g.
"config".

Accessing a cvs repository via a shared drive is generally a bad idea.

Obviously, you were not running the cvs client that comes with cvsnt,
otherwise it would know about the ntserver method. Check whether you have
some other cvs.exe in your PATH.
On the other hand, you should be able to use any client as long as you
specify CVSROOT in a more standard (not cvsnt-specific) way. Try this:
cvs -d :pserver:harpm@HARPM:/c//cvs_root login
