Hello I'm having some troubles using CVSNT 2.0.58, that I just installed. If I leave the new option, "Run as user" with the default value, i.e. "(client user)", everything works fine. If I select a local user, cvs client complains that the user doesn't exists (I had selected it from the drop down list found in the CVS's control panel applet and I'm sure, it's there). D:\Arquiv~1\GNU\WinCvs~1.3\Cvsnt>cvs95 -d :sspi:n992:/cvsroot ls Fatal error, aborting. CVS95 [ls aborted]: N992\cvs999: no such user If I select a domain user (my server is a win2003 server machine attached to our enterprise network) the complaint is that the repository doesn't exists (remember, I acessed it a few minutes ago when the "Run as user" option was "(client user)"). D:\Arquiv~1\GNU\WinCvs~1.3\Cvsnt>cvs95 -d :sspi:n992:/cvsroot ls cvs [server aborted]: Repository directory E:/cvsroot does not exist: Permission denied [footnote: as our network have more than 2000 users, I needed to change the user regedit'ing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CVS\Pserver; the drop down list just shown the local users and a few domain ones] I changed the default domain both to local and global domain, with the same efect. Before that, I make sure that the user I chose to "run as" had full control rights over my repository and temp dir. I used also filemon and found no "access denied" messages. CVS tried not to access the repository, only created a directory in format "cvs-servXXXX" on temp dir. The only way I found to make it work was to include the "run as" user to the local administrators group. So, I have two questions: 1. should the "run as" user be member of local administrators? 2. can't I use a local user for "run as"? Capaverde
