Hi friends,
I'm having a problem setting up users and I have some questions on CVS NT
security.
Here is my scenario:
(I'm using Win2000 server)
I installed CVSNT 1.11.1.3 (Build 57j). Here is a copy of the DOS command
window:
C:\Documents and Settings\kkolle>set
cvsroot=:ntserver:a0986:/test
C:\Documents and Settings\kkolle>cvs passwd -a kkolle
Adding user kkolle at a0986
New password: ****
Verify password: ****
cvs [server aborted]: Only administrators can add users
I am in the Administrator group on the box. In this URL,
http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/InstallCVSNT.html#InstallSteps, there is a
section titled "Administrating the repository, users with admin rights." I
manually created an admin file with kkolle as the only line in it.
I'm attempting to add myself as a user to CVSNT.
Do I have to be logged into CVS as the admin user of CVS? Or, is this referring
to the admin group on NT?
I want to use NT authentication, but how can I add users initially if I don't
know their NT password? Doesn't a user's password on the client (like wincvs)
need to match the password on the server?
If so, when a user's nt password gets changed, how does the password file on the
cvs server get changed to match the new password? Is there some documentation on
this that I may have missed?
Will sspi ease my pains if I don't go with nt authentication? note: I don't need
access to cvs outside of my network at this point, so I probably don't need sspi
now.
I also found this post:

Any good suggestions for a newbie installer of cvsnt?
Thanks in advance.
