Valid roots are: :pserver:user at localhost:/test or :sspi:localhost:/test or :sspi:user at localhost:/test The two variations that have user@ inside requires an initial cvs login (once only for that workstation and user combination), but the one without will never require a cvs login. It uses the login done to the workstation. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
