Thanks Larry, it was the "--allow-root" option that I had to enable. It works fine now. However, this one developer is having trouble logging into cvs via Wincvs. He can do so fine using a unix client, via the command line ":pserver:uid@machine:<repository path> login" command. However, when he uses WinCVS, he gets an authorization error. He's in the "CVSROOT/passwd" file for that repository. Any idea what might be causing this?

Most likely you forgot the --allow-root option in inetd.conf, put it in the wrong place, or made a typo in it. What version of CVS are you running and what is the exact error message you're getting? -Larry Jones These child psychology books we bought were such a waste of money. -- Calvin's Mom _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
