Hi > WinCvs: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cvsgui/WinCvs13b8.zip Thanks, I have this now. :-) > > You should read my post on March 12 or thereabouts (can't > find it myself now (have it at home) > concerning how to do a fresh install of CVSNT and making it work. > Look in the archives... > Otherwise you may also look at the www.devguy.com site I found this and the links to www.devguy.com. This is the documentation I was already working from. I've had another go at installing CVSNT, following the devguy instructions and I think I've made some progress, but I'm not there yet. I've gone for pserver again, with CVS passwords so as not to compromise our NT passwords when the system is used over the 'net. To do this I've set 'SystemAuth==No' in config and committed it to CVSROOT. I've created a file called 'passwd' and put it in C:\CVS\CVSROOT (DevGuy suggests calling it '.passwd', but that doesn't seem to work). In my 'passwd' file I have the entries (not my real password of course): anonymous paul:mypassword The CVS documentation suggests there should be colon after 'anonymous', but this doesn't seam to work, but it does work (almost) without the colon. I've tried the following on both the server and a client machine: I set a user variable called 'CVSROOT' to ':pserver:anonymous@Chorpcwks043:c:\cvs' and type: cvs login at the command line. This then asks for a password, so I hit enter and get "cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server Chorpcwks043 rejected access to C:\CVS for user anonymous". If I remove anonymous from the passwd file, I get "cvs login aborted]: no such user annoymous in CVSROOT/passwd", which suggests to me that CVSNT is reading passwd ok, but not granting access for some reason. If I change CVSROOT to ':pserver:paul@Chorpcwks043:c:\cvs' and use the password 'mypassword' and run the same two tests as above, I get the same results. I don't know why. I am wondering if my CVS users don't have access to 'C:\CVS' for some reason, but I don't have a clue how to grant it. Has anyone had the same problem and can help? Any suggestions, much appreciated!
