Set an empty password in the file, then use the cvs command "cvs passwd" from the client to set the password. Indeed, once you have one user up and running, add their cvs user name (on a line on its own) to the "admin" file in CVSROOT on the server (which may not already exist), and then you can log in as that user and use "cvs passwd" to add additional users. > > BTW, you should set up a repository prefix to get rid of the > > drive letter > > from the repostiory root, to make it easier to move the > > repository (and for > > easier interoperability with non-Windows clients) > I understand and agree with what you're saying, but how do I do it? Open the Control Panel Applet, and select the "repositories" tab; check the box at the top, and use the "..." browse button to the right of the empty edit field to select the prefix.
