My knowledge on the guest account is limited since I never use it. When you add a new file, who is the owner in the repository? What cvsroot are you using? What permissions are assigned to the repository? Maybe something in those answers can jog some responses from the list. I suppose it's possible that you aren't specifying credentials and it's using guest by default, but that would be an NT behavior that I wouldn't expect to see. You might try removing gust authority from the repository for starters, assuming it has access now.

The service is running as "Local System" on XP. I notice I have "Impersonation enabled" checked. I don't know if this only applies to the local repository file structure permissions or not though. The XP guest account is enabled. I'm reluctant to disable it to see what happens, since we have no domain server and ISTR without a domain server, the guest accounts are important for general network browsing. -- Dr. Craig Graham, Software Engineer Advanced Analysis and Integration Limited, UK. http://www.aail.co.uk/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glen Starrett" <grstarrett at cox.net> To: "'Craig Graham'" <craig at twolips-translations.co.uk>; <cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 8:38 AM Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Possible security risk > I don't know about the guest issue though--is your guest account > disabled?
