G'Day all,
	I am a first time CVS(NT) administrator who is not having much
success getting the server up and running. So far, all attempts at RTFM,
RTFWS, and any other variant of RTF... has come up with nothing.


	I am trying to get a CVSNT server running on a Win2K SP4 box for
internal remote access. I have created the required based directories
(c:\CVS_BASE\cvsrepo & c:\CVS_BASE\cvstemp), along with the groups,
users and permissions as detailed in the InstallationTips page of the
CVSNT Wiki. I installed the server, and rebooted the machine, then
started the services via the CVS for NT "fish".

	Now, I am having trouble trying to get users added, and
connecting to the server locally. I have used CVS before, mainly
connecting with pserver, and so that is where I have tried this time.
	So far - no luck.


	(Note: some of the names of machines, directories, etc have been
changed to protect... well me)

	The server is server01.local.company.com, and the directories
are as listed above. The install is a default install, and the CVS
Repository prefix is set to the cvsrepo directory. 

	What should I be doing to get this working? I have tried using
the examples in Section 2.9 as a guide, but I have not been getting any
success. I have found them to be a little sparse, and my efforts to find
other helpful documentation elsewhere (cvsnt.org and beyond) to have
been fruitless.


	Any assistance with this problem will be appreciated, and paid
forward when applicable.


	Thanking you in advance for your time and effort,
