Yes I'm sure -- and I think I just found the problem. The user names in the
NT domain were entered with mixed case (don't ask me why), but users don't
know this since NT doesn't enforce case sensitivity when you log in. The
user accounts I created on the Linux server machine (the one with CVS on it)
were all in lower case. I don't know what made me think of it, but I tried
creating an additional username with mixed case that matched the case of the
username in the NT domain, did a checkout, and it worked.
Now, the next question is, can I get it to work without having to re-enter
all the usernames on the Linux server? You cannot simply add the username
to the CVSROOT variable like this:
set CVSROOT=myname@CVSSERVER:/path to repository
because CVS complains about the mixed case name (as logged in) not matching
the one that's all lower case (specified in the CVSROOT variable). It says
something like, "cannot log in as local user 'MyName', remote user 'myname'
I guess I have no choice but to re-enter all the usernames on the Linux
server.

Are you sure you're using the internal rsh method on NT? CVS 1.10.6 has
a bug in pserver mode that causes exactly this problem.
