I have finally been requested to open our CVSNT server for UNIX users in our network. Our Windows users exclusively connect using the sspi protocol, but the Solaris box client cvs is 1.11 and obviously doesn't handle sspi, so I enabled pserver on our CVSNT server (I had previously deleted that dll to safeguard the server from pserver connections). This is in short what I did: 1) I copied in the pserver protocol dll to the CVSNT program folder 2) I checked out CVSROOT from the repository the unix guys will work on to my Windows PC. Set conf to use lockserver and committed. 3) I used the cvs passwd command from my windows PC as follows: cvs passwd -a peters Then I entered a password twice (not the same as his domain pwd) 4) I checked that I could successfully log in as peters (no error) 5) Now I tried to check out a module from the server: C:\tmp\HWTest>cvs co AOS2 cvs [server aborted]: can't create temporary directory D:\CVSTEMP/cvs-serv2560: Permission denied 6) I have checked that the D:\CVSTEMP folder on the server actually is full control for SYSTEM and Everybody and all the CVS usergroups. Next I did the following: 7) cvs passwd -a bob (myself) entered a non-domain password twice 8) cvs login useing the non-domain password. Worked fine. 9) Now I *successfully* checked out the module that the user peters could not All of the above was from my own Windows PC. When working from the Solaris box I did this: cvs -d :pserver:peters at server:/HW login (entered the password as set above in 3) This worked fine. cvs -d :pserver:peters at server:/HW co AOS2 And I got the exact same response as in 6)... Question: How should I proceed to get user peters working with pserver against my CVSNT server? Note that we are on a domain and that the user bob (myself) has logged on to the server console several times but used a domain password which is not the same as the one I set for pserver access. The user peters has never logged on to the server console. But he has been using CVS from his Windows PC many times. I am at a loss here since I am less than literate in UNIX commands and have never before been asked to set up a unix account on my CVSNT server.... Any help appreciated! Best regards, Bo Berglund
