Hello,
 
Thanks to all for the helping me getting CVSNT up and running at where I work. I went from using CVS in local mode to running a CVSNT server. I copied the local repositories into the new CVSNT repository. When I added the repositories on the server side, it did not recognize the directories as repositories and wanted to initialize them, which I allowed it to do. The initialization created a CVSROOT directory in each one of the repositories I added/ported over. This directory is a duplicate of the main CVSROOT and is confusing to everyone. It doesn't look like it has any purpose. Changes to it have no effect on how CVSNT works. My questions:
 
1. How can I get ride of the repository, or at least hide it from the users?
2. Can I simply delete the extra CVSROOT directory from each repository?
2.Why do I need a CVSROOT in each repository? 
 
When using CVS in local mode my repository had the structure of (Note only one CVSROOT):
 
cvsrepo\
 |
-- CVSROOT
|
-- repo/module1\
|      |
|      ----sub directories\
|
-- repo/module2\
|      |
|      ----sub directories\
|
-- etc.
 
Using CVSNT in a client server type mode, repository had the structure of (Note the CVSROOT in each module):
 
cvsrepo\
      |
      --EngDev\
      |
      -- CVSROOT
      |
      -- repo/module1\
      |      |
      |      ----CVSROOT\
      |      |
      |      ----sub directories\
      |
      -- repo/module2\
  
      |      |
      |      ----CVSROOT\
      |      |
      |      ----sub directories\
      |
      -- etc.

Thanks,
