Hi Martin, I've had all of about 2 days with CVSNT, here's some of the pearls I've picked up. > 1) How do are users supposed to attach to the CVSNT > server?

Some of those protocols are common across the different variations of CVS. I recommend you try :sspi: protocol since you're all Win2K/XP (and it works for me). Here's how the user would connect (from a DOS prompt, assuming the NTCVS has been installed on the clients): SET cvsroot=:sspi:Servername:\ottawa cvs co project1 (to checkout the project1 module under \ottoawa) There are a lot of client tools for connecting to the CVSNT server (TortoiseCVS, WinCVS, CVSNT of course). > 2) Where and how do I secure the c:\cvsrepo directory > so that only SYSTEM Domain Admins and a group that I > created called CVS users have rights to check > out,create, and commit files/folders?

If a user is a Domain Administrator in their login domain, they are automatically a CVS administrator. Other users that you want to add as CVS admins are added on a per-repository basis by adding their base login name (not domain\username, just username) in the \ottawa\CVSROOT\admin file (create it if it is not present, just a text file with no extension), one username per line. I believe from what I've read, but haven't gotten this far yet: You can set up the file system security with NTFS just like you would normally, but be sure to allow SYSTEM account full access to everything. Someone please add to/correct me where needed.

I have set it up according to the instructions from http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/InstallCVSNT.html#InstallSteps except, rather than using /test I used /ottawa As an aside I would like to use WinCVS as a front-end. My network enviorment is All 2000 servers running in an Active Directory enviorment. Users have a mix of 2000/XP workstations. 1) How do are users supposed to attach to the CVSNT server? Do I have to share out the c:\cvsrepo directory, and have the users map a drive to it? Can you recommend a proper implementation? 2) Where and how do I secure the c:\cvsrepo directory so that only SYSTEM Domain Admins and a group that I created called CVS users have rights to check out,create, and commit files/folders? Can this be done on a folder level or does the security have to be implemented through CVSNT? My only wish is to implement standardized servers in multiple sites so that cvs users can use and administer CVSNT/WinCVS however they see fit. Please excuse my ignorance as I am very new when it comes to working with CVS. I would welcome any help that you can provide.
