Please test this on a comman prompt in a new directory: set CVSROOT=:sspi:cvsserver:/repo (replace the cvsserver item with the real name of your server PC and /repo with the real name of your repository) then cvs ls This should produce valid data if your user is allowed access. Note that there is a need to specify the protocol etc in the environment variable CVSROOT in order to use simple cvs commands. If not done then it has to be specified directly on the cvs command line. But in my view it is sipler to use the set command. /Bo On Tue, 3 Feb 2004 21:08:39 -0000, Bjørn Toft Madsen <lists at sunbeam60.net> wrote: >Hi all, > >I tried installing CVSNT a couple of months ago, but ended up leaving it as >the project used P4 instead.
