It sounds like the cvs executable can't find the ntserver_protocol.dll. I had this problem once when I had multiple versions of cvs on my system, and the wrong one was being found. So it could be a PATH problem on the server. Check your server cvs version to make sure you're running what you think you should be, and search for the dll.

The WinCVS 1.3.6.1 beta 6 error is this: cvs checkout CVSROOT (in directory C:\) cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from servername: cvs [authserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: BEGIN NTSERVER But the server reports from the command line: C:\>cvs -d :ntserver:servername:d:/cvs co CVSROOT cvs [checkout aborted]: the :ntserver: access method is not supported by this port of CVS Please help if you can. More details are in my first message.... Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Dave Mello [mailto:DMello at arrayinc.com] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 2:02 PM To: 'cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook' Subject: [Cvsnt] Can't use ntserver protocol from server or client Hello. I just installed CVSWEBNT 1.93.2.2 on the same server where I was running cvsnt 1.11.1.3 (Build 57a). The server is running W2K Server with SP2 and IIS 5.0 in a domain. I can't find any info on the following error, which I get from the command line on the server itself and from WinCVS 1.3 beta 6 running on another workstation: C:\>cvs -d :ntserver:servername:d:/cvs co CVSROOT cvs [checkout aborted]: the :ntserver: access method is not supported by this port of CVS This error started after I attempted to install CVSWEBNT. When I was ready to test the URL, I ran into an error. Before troubleshooting CVSWEB, I double-checked that CVSNT itself was still functional, and found that it was not. I did find some threads about a similar error related to pserver, but not ntserver. I've reinstalled CVSNT initialized a new repository on the server, and reinstalled WinCVS 1.3 beta 6 on my workstation with no change in the error message. I've always referred to http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm for instructions, along with this mailing list. The only way I can access the repository now, as a cvs client, is by running cvs commands from the server using the option -d :local:d:\cvs. That works, and I successfully modified a file under CVSROOT and checked it in. But why does ntserver fail? Has anyone seen this before?
