Ok, I admit I am really confused and a novice at CVS so please help me understand. I thought clehman is a valid user. clehman is what I use to login to my windows PC, it's what's shown via the "cvs lsacl <project>" as the "Owner:" for the other projects I created via an import command, It's what I use as my login with sspi protocol and is what is in my CVSROOT, it's what I added to the admin file, and it was accepted by the "cvs chacl clehman:rwc CVSROOT". I don't understand why your saying it's meaningless and a nonexistent user? In terms of having SystemAuth=yes committed out and CVSROOT not being able to be checked out anyone other than me as screwy... Well I double checked and that's how it's working. My admin file had just clehman on one line all by itself. Is this the correct format? Do I need a project name or DEFAULT in front of the clehman?

Without a user called clehman on the system it's meaningless to try to do any operations using that name. > When I do a cvs lsacl I get "Owner: <not set>".

I then simply used "cvs chacl clehman:rwc > CVSROOT" to add me, which it did. Then when I do a "cvs lsacl CVSROOT" I If that even slightly works then there's something really screwed up. You shouldn't even be able to log in under that name as it's a nonexistant user. You don't have 'Simple File Sharing' enabled??? That disables the system security.
