1. You are getting the error message because you are using the Admin/Login function in WinCvs1.2 even though you are using :ntserver: With ntserver you don't need to log in at all, it is already done when you logged into your NT¤ workstation. ntserver uses this login also for the CVS work. 2. passwd file With CVSNT version 1.11.x.x you need a passwd file which was not needed in 1.10.8. It must exist in the CVSROOT directory of all repositories you have. If you are only using ntserver protocol it needs only contain a list of the system users who are authorized to also use the CVS service. The user connecting on the pipe is validated against this list of valid users and if he existst here the process continues. CVSNT then switches clothes and does its work as this user. So you myst create the passwd file and place it in CVSROOT. This has to be done manually on the server itself. 3. CVSROOT specification in WinCvs Since you are using WinCvs version 1.2 you must type in the complete string as in your example (:ntserver:bgl:c:/cvs). In later versions of WinCvs 1.3 this has changed so that the protocol part is not needed or accepted. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: Mark Robinson [mailto:blobbybirdman at hotmail.com] Sent: den 13 februari 2002 12:20 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [Cvsnt] ntserver Hi, I have set up cvsnt on a windows2000 machine and I am trying to login from a client machine running winNT 4 and wincvs 1.2 using the ntserver protocol. When I set the preferences as so: ROOT :ntserver:bg1:c:/cvs Authentication: ntserver I get the error message: set the password settings in preferences !?! Not sure what that means, I thought I had by setting the authentication to ntserver. If I try and import a module I get a pipe 6 error which I understand is due to a need for a list of user names in a password file in the CVSROOT. I have created a root repository using the control panel but there is no passwd file there what exactly do I need to do here? _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
