Hi All, I'm running a CVSNT pserver on a Linux machine (Slackware 8.1), which is accessed by Windows 2000 machines using WinCVS. I 'upgraded' from standard CVS to CVSNT because I wanted to use the lock server. if I run CVSNT as a normal inetd pserver it works fine, except that there is a 30-60 sec delay before commands are executed which is annoying if you just want to do something to one file. I don't think it's the lock server causing the delay, because plain CVS had a delay before i ran it using 'cvsd' (http://tiefighter.et.tudelft.nl/~arthur/cvsd/). After using cvsd for some reason CVS processed commands almost instantly. Now, however I am unable to use cvsd with CVSNT, I get the following error when I try to login usng cvsd and CVSNT; 'cvs [server aborted]: bad auth protocol start: BEGIN AUTH REQUEST' I assume that CVSNT is backward compatible with CVS, so I don't understand why this doesn't work. Thanks for any help. - Tom
