You've create a cvs user called mydomain/peiper, but there's probably
no user mydomain\mydomain/peiper. Note: Forward slashes are not
special to NT and aren't used as domain separators.
If the user exists on the domain then you shouldn't need to specify it
anyway (unless you have 'use local users' checked in which case user
must exist as a local user on the cvs server).

That sounds like an ambiguous comment. Users on the client are
largely irrelevant. The NT user must exist on either the domain the
CVS server is a member of, or locally on the CVS server, depending on
the configuration. Users do not have to exist on the client machine.
