I have just started using CVS and I am using WinCvs13b10 and CvsNT 1.11.1.3 (build 62) and I have noticed that pserver protocol works much slower than the ntserver protocol, but as we don't use domains (Novell network) I would have to maintain a list of local users on the server machine, (adding users, changing passwords...). But if I use the pserver protocol we could all use one NT account on the server and new users would only be added in the passwd file. The problem is that a simple edit or diff operation on one small file take about 2 seconds with ntserver protocol and about 6 seconds with pserver. I have read that pserver has to take an extra trip on the network, but should it take this long? The server runs Windows 2000 and on the client I use WINNT - will soon be changed to XP and to login on the network we use a Novell Client and as local user on NT I am the user named Administrator, which we also use as alias on the server, and because the password is the same on both the local and remote Administrator, we don't have to use any password - no password in the passwd file. Is it normal - or does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Björn Carlsson Software Engineer Beijer Electronics AB ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
