Install CVSNT - run cvsnt-2.0.26.exe JA> JA> (skipped) When you type 'set cvsroot=...' in bash, it doesn't have any effect (I guess it is intended to be used in scripts), so the variable CVSROOT retains its old value (C:\cvsrepo); when CVSNT sees this value, it assumes you want to use the directory 'C:\cvsrepo' through the 'local' protocol, that's why, for example, 'cvs ls' gives you the contents of 'C:\cvsrepo', and 'cvs login' complains about the 'local' protocol. You should use 'export cvsroot=...' instead of 'set', and probably remove the 'CVSROOT' system env. variable (you don't need it anyway). Alternatively, you can specify the repository path in the '-d' option. Or just use a GUI client such as WinCvs, WSAD or Eclipse. As regards Eclipse: it probably doesn't work because you executed 'cvs passwd' for 'C:\cvsrepo'; try again after you do 'cvs passwd' for ':ntserver:JamesAdams:/eclipse' (or better ':sspi:JamesAdams:/eclipse').
