Dear all,
  My CVSNT worked fine yesterday with wincvs. But after I change cvsrepo's security attribute, I can not use CVSNT again, though i changed the security attribute back to let everyone's full control of cvsrepo. I can login but can not "edit selection","update","add" and "commit". I have met this problem 1 month ago. Today i met this problem again. I send the mail for I have had important data in CVSNT. anyone help me ? thanks on advance.
