Mike, Thanks for the detailed steps. I gave them a try and get: cvs lsacl CVSROOT ***** CVS exited normally with code 0 ***** Directory: CVSROOT Owner: <not set> cvs chown clehman CVSROOT ***** CVS exited normally with code 0 ***** cvs server: User clehman does not exist cvs lsacl CVSROOT ***** CVS exited normally with code 0 ***** Directory: CVSROOT Owner: <not set> my admin file has some comments at the top of the file, all the lines start with #, and then I have clehman as the first of two entries. Since I am using SSPI, I do not have a password file in CVSROOT. Any ideas why it says clehman does not exist? I'm I missing a step?

Try this. Set the config file back to SystemAuth=Yes and relogin as a user in the admin file. Lets say that user is called "yourAdminUser" Then login and checkout the CVSROOT module into a sandbox cd sandbox cvs co CVSROOT cd CVSROOT Check the ACL permissions cvs lsacl Make sure "yourAdminUser" owns the directory cvs chown yourAdminUser Check again cvs lsacl Give yourAdminUser Read Write and Create permissions cvs chacl yourAdminUser:rwc Check the result cvs lsacl Do the same for any other user AnotherAdminUser Read Write and Create permissions cvs chacl yourAdminUser:rwc Check the result cvs lsacl Give everyone else no permission cvs chacl default:n Check the result. cvs lsacl Ultimately the output of cvs lsacl on your CVSROOT directory should look something like this. Directory: . Owner: yourAdminUser default:n yourAdminUser:rwc AnotherAdminUser:rwc I did all this within the output window of my favourite GUI WinCVS.

They kept getting "cvs [login >>aborted]: no such user clehman in CVSROOT/passwd".
