If you use :pserver: it does not matter from where the connection is done (Win98, ME, Linux, AIX, NT, whatever....) BUT, it does matter that the name in the passwd file IS a valid user on the server machine! He simply MUST exist! If the passwd file looks like this: charlie:4X.234Wq7&h
then charlie MUST be a valid account on the CVSNT server machine. If it looks like this: charlie:4X.234Wq7&h:john then john MUST exist and charlie will use john's account while doing CVS work. It is simply not possible to just invent any old login name and make it work.... And it also matters which version of CVSNT you are using, you did not state this in your post, so I am assuming the very latest one available. /Bo On Fri, 22 Mar 2002 21:00:50 +0000 (UTC), KallDrexx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >This is a multi-part message in MIME format. >-- >[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >I'm trying to host a CVS server on my machine so that friend and I can work= > on something.
