The same happens to me.
I disabled impersonation, and used SystemAuth=no. In theory, CVSNT should
only rely on passwd file for authentication. However, I had to create an NT
user in for CVSNT to recognize the user. Looks like a bug. In this scenario,
the password used by CVSNT is the one in passwd, no the NT user password.

I have installed cvsnt 1.11.1.3 (Build 57) on my Windows 2000 machine. I
configured it to use a repository 'd:\cvsrepos'. I followed the
instructions in the
http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm#faq link to set up
pserver using cvs passwords.

I checked out the CVSROOT directory and set 'SystemAuth=o' and
committed the file back into cvs. I then created a password file
(d:\cvsrepos\CVSROOT\passwd) with user and passwd (generated using
pwgen.exe) information as follows:
sriram:Ì5jNkznCHgVJM

However when I try logging into cvs (in order to add a module) with the
following command:
cvs -d :pserver:sriram at pcwes4:d:\cvsrepos login

When I enter my password , I get the following error:
Fatal error, aborting.
cvs [login aborted]: sriram: no such user

If I enter an incorrect password, I get a message saying that
authorization has failed. What am I doing wrong ? Please help.

Sriram
