Ah-Hah! It's been over a year since I last used CVS, and so I thought there had to be a CVSROOT in the repository prefix dir. c:\cvs\forums (my module/repository whatever) c:\cvs\CVSROOT But I was wrong, as you pointed out, I needed to be modifying: c:\cvs\forums\CVSROOT A few complications later and I'm up and running! Now I need to figure out how to get SSH going since I don't want to open up pserver.
