The problem seems odd to me, that's why I did not reply at least... If I interpret what you write you have the following setup: CVSNT server: notebook (W2K SP2) moved between home and company LAN CVS client at home: WinXP PC (no domain), WinCvs 1.3.1.???? CVS client at work: WinXP PC (on a domain?), WinCvs 1.3.1.???? The home client can log in but not the work client. The only difference I can see is the following: - Work client is probably on a domain but the home is not. - The server laptop may be a domain PC, we don't know. If it is then the server will be able to check the login against the domain server when connected to the company LAN (and fails) whereas it cannot do this when disconnected. But pserver does not use any other user info than what is typed into the login dialogue, so the logged on user (which is different at home and at work) should not matter. But the alias in the passwd does matter and depending on the setting of SystemAuth in CVSROOT/config you may see different behaviour when validating the aliased user (he might exist only on the local server PC). One thing to check: At work disconnect the client and server PC:s from the company LAN, instead make a mini-LAN with only these two PC:s and a hub. Then retry the connection from the client. In this case the server will not be able to contact the server and get authentication from it and so will fall back to the local user database. Just a hint, I don't know if this will help at all... /Bo Quiz: Which team whipped Argentina out of the World Cup today?? -----Original Message----- From: Christian Gütter [mailto:cguetter at pgpa.de] Sent: den 12 juni 2002 11:38 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: Re: [Cvsnt] PServer Login Problems (still unsolved) Hi, am I asking too dumb or too difficult questions?
