Hi Scott Some things to try. I assume the name of your server is "files"? Is this correct? If so Have you tried getting the user to login using their domain password. ie cvs -d :sspi:files:/cvsrepo login or cvs -d :sspi:username at files:/cvsrepo login and then try cvs -d :sspi:files:/cvsrepo login or cvs -d :sspi:username at files:/cvsrepo ls Is the temporary directory set to be C:/Data/cvstemp within the CVSNT applet?

I read all the FAQs I could find and sorted through many back postings. I have created a repository on C:\Data\cvsrepo, and the CVSNT applet was able to initialize it. I also created a temporary directory in C:\Data\cvstemp. The members of my software group have been given Full rights to both of these directories. The repository name as set in the CVSNT applet is /cvsrepo.

I have tried these same commands with CVSNT clients 2.0.41a (from the WinCVS 1.3 distribution), and 2.0.51a, and the results are the same. > > I'm assuming that this is some kind of permissions problem. Can anyone provide some advice? We're really desperate to get this working, and I'd hate to have to switch to some other VCS over what should be such a simple problem. > > Best regards, and thanks! > > --Scott > > <Original posting> > > I have CVSNT version 2.0.41a running on a client (from WinCVS 1.3), and the server has been set up with version 2.0.51a. The server appears to be running correctly, and I gave the users in my software group full control for the C:\Data\cvstemp directory and C:\Data\cvsrepo directories on my server.
