Hi Bo, Many thanks for your mail. I checked the source code to try to understand what is going on, but I can't figure it out. Once (only once -- I can't get the message to appear repeatably) when doing "cvs -t import mydir xx yy" I got the error:
cvs [server aborted] user daft cannot create files in mydir which puzzles me, since both myself (daft) and the SYSTEM account which is running the cvs service have full access to the cvs root folder on the NT server. I wonder if file accesses on the server are done with the account running the service or if it setuids to the client's user... I imagine it would have to be the account running the service, since the client's user may not have an account on the server. So why is it interested in whether user daft has access rights? I have worked around this issue by creating a folder in the repository, faking the files in the CVS subdirectory on the client side, and doing 'cvs add' without first importing. This sucks pretty horribly but is the only way I can get it to work currently.
