Hi, I'm currently using cvsnt with the pserver interface. If in the passwd file I specify thomasgd:password:Administrator then thomasgd can log on with no problems. However, I don't like running programs unnecessarily as Administrator, so have created a user cvsuser as suggested at http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/InstallCVSNT.html#PserverUsers But, if the passwd file specifies thomasgd:password:cvsuser I get the following .. C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 1.2>cvs login (Logging in to thomasgd at localhost) CVS password: Fatal error, aborting. cvsuser: no such user cvs login: authorization failed: server localhost rejected access to /Test for user thomasgd Trying it with the cvs from cvsnt gives a similar problem; C:\>cvs login Logging in to :pserver:thomasgd at localhost:2401/Test) CVS password: Fatal error, aborting. cvs [login aborted]: cvsuser: no such user The cvsuser /does/ exist. It shows up as a 'Global Account' in User Manager, and although I've not logged in to it (*) I have been able to run the cvs service as that user (it's now back as System - this was just to make sure the account was OK), and sure enough, there are now files in c:\winnt\profiles\cvsuser (*) I can't log off from the box in question, for reasons too complicated to go in to. Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause? WinNT Server v.4 SP 6, cvsnt 1.11.1.3 (Build 57j).
