Here's the head of the ,v file after my postcommit script has created revision 1.12: head 1.12; access; symbols CR_REFACTOR_XSL:1.9.0.2 CR_FIX_GLOSSARY_NAMESPACE:1.4.0.4 CR_REFACTOR_SCHEMA:1.4.0.2 CR_ADD_TESTS:1.2.0.2; locks; strict; comment @# @; 1.12 date 2004.10.05.11.46.31; author ; state Exp; branches; next 1.11; deltatype text; permissions 644; commitid 8f4416289970550; kopt kv; filename @Changelog.txt@; 1.11 date 2004.10.05.11.39.21; author SYSTEM; state Exp; branches; next 1.10; deltatype text; permissions 644; commitid 128416287e97fd3; kopt kv; filename @Changelog.txt@; ... As you can see, revision 1.12 has no author, which is clearly a bug. The cvsnt server process should never write a ,v file with an author-less revision. > I suspect this is unrelated to postcommit and something else is going > on. Try removing the postcommit and committing a few things. Do you > have any AV on the server? If I rollback the server to 2.0.51, the script works - the author for the created revision is SYSTEM. If I upgrade the server to 2.0.58, my script stops working. Given that 2.0.52 introduced changes to the SSPI domain processing (usernames are recorded as @DOMAIN\username@, rather than @username@), isn't this a likely source of the bug when "cvs commit" is invoked as SYSTEM?
