Hi, I have linux server cvs1.11 and WinCVS1.2 and this works well. What is your setting of CVSROOT in WinCVS1.2? (look at Admin->Preferences->General)
My configuration: CVSROOT=myname@myserver:/mycvsdir Authentication: .rhosts "use cvs1.10(Standard)" (this is a rather old string) On myserver in HOMEDIR of myname is ~/.rhosts with a line: long-(ip)-name-of-my-clientcomputer myname Hope this helps.
