Hey Siegfried - don't know if you recieved a response yet, but I have
had similiar issues -
Here's a CVSROOT that does work (notice I'm not specifiying a port -
just have the :, then a / immediately folowing it):
CVSROOT=:pserver:akynaston at 137.65.81.90:/home/repository
The other cvsroot I use for my local repository (no cvs server running,
purely local - not recommend for more than one user):
c:\z\repository
I use the second one when I'm just using my local repository - have you
been able to get it working?

I'm new to CVS and nothing seems to be working.
I'm going nuts trying to understand the syntax for specifying CVSROOT
for a
windows server being accessed by a windows command line client! (I
have
also tried WinCVS and I cannot get that to work either -- it seems be
experiencing the same problems).
I have created an empty repository and used CVSNT service control panel
to
add the repository C:\CONVEX. (The documentation did not mention this,
but
it seemed like a good idea).
I've tried using cygwin BASH and just plain old cmd.exe (dos command
line)
to login and nothing seems to work!
Here is one (of many) attempts from cmd.exe:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs>cvs -d
:pserver:siegfried at 192.168.0.8:2401:c:/CONVEX login
cvs login: CVSROOT may only specify a positive, non-zero, integer port
(not
`2401:c:').
cvs login: Perhaps you entered a relative pathname?
cvs [login aborted]: Bad CVSROOT:
`:pserver:siegfried at 192.168.0.8:2401:c:/CONVEX'.
How do I specify the windows device name so it does not get confused
with
the port number?
I captured more of my failed attempts at

Thanks,
Siegfried
