Ian, Thank you for your help. By the way, I tried to follow the steps listed in the document provided at: http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/InstallCVSNT.html The following section seems to imply to use :ntserver: It was not clear to me to use :pserver: at this step. --- 9. Adding CVS users But if you really must use pserver then: Open a command window and do the following (replace items <text> with the real values from your system). Note: for ntserver the computername cannot be entered as 'localhost', it must be the real name of the PC.: set cvsroot=:ntserver:<computername>:/TEST cvs passwd -a <your NT username> You will now be asked to enter a password for this user. If you intend this system to be used both with ntserver and pserver then add a password for CVS that is different from the real login password for this user (security reasons). Enter the same password twice. Now the CVSROOT/passwd file will be created and the user you entered will be added to the list in this file. This step is necessary even if you are going to only use the pserver protocol in the future since there is no way to log in with pserver unless there is a passwd file present with the user listed. --- I set the CVSROOT to :pserver: and tried to add myself. I am issuing this command on the cvs_server machine logged in as the Administrator. aaron is a valid user. C:\>cvs passwd -a aaron cvs [passwd aborted]: connect to cvs_server(cvs_server):2401 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. --- Ian Epperson <Ian at axiomdesign.com> wrote: > I think you've got the CVSROOT wrong.
