Yes, you must do the checkout-edit-commit cycle for the CVSROOT admin
files. If you edit in place they will get overwritten the next time
you do a commit into CVSROOT. These files are special cases, there are
both the ,v and normal versions here and the normal files get created
from the ,v files when the message says "rebuilding administrative
files".

If you enable LockServer by uncommenting that line you are no longer
using the LockDir. From one of the more recent CVSNT the LockDir is no
longer used, it only uses LockServer.

Where have you entered 'localhost'???

The sspi protocol is fully routable so you should be fine as long as
you can ping the server from the client.
