I have installed CVSNT on my own W2K workstation and I want people on other machines to be able to access it through pserver. (When this goes into production, the other machines may be Unix machines at our customers' sites, so ntserver/sspi authentication is not an option.) I'm trying to set up a CVS account in the system for "customers" to use, but whenever I type "cvs passwd -r sgordon -a customer", I get the error "User 'sgordon' is not a real user on the system." But "sgordon" is the name I log in as. My repository is at "D:\cvsrepo\test"; I get these error messages whether CVSROOT is set to "D:\cvsrepo\test" or ":sspi:localhost:/test". The CVSROOT\config file has "SystemAuth=yes". I'm running 2.0.14 on Windows 2K SP 4. adTHANKSvance....
