Hi, I need to install CVS NT on a windows XP system, and I want to use it with CVS passwords (not domain passwords). This is what I am doing : - I installed CVS NT 2.0.58d - I create a test repository on the location 'c:/cvstest/test' and name '/cvstest/test'. So a C:\cvstest\test\CVSROOT directory was created with the config files inside it. - Now I try to follow the FAQ on (http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm), in the answer to the question 'How do I set up pserver?'. - on the step 2 it says : "Create an empty file .passwd in the directory referenced by the HOME environment variable for the SYSTEM user (or the user that runs he CVS service)". Well I do not have a HOME enviroment variable set, so I set it to c:\cvstest\home and create this empty .passwd file there. - I follow the steps 3 and 4 of the faq answer, using SystemAuth=no. - on the step 5 it says to create the passwd file in the CVSROOT directory. So I create the C:\cvstest\test\CVSROOT\passwd file. - here I have my problem. It says to use pwgen.exe to create the encrypted passwords. But I do not know where I can find this program. So I find a message on 'http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2002-May/002117.html' and it says to create a user with a blank password and log using it to then change to a real password. So I create to create a 'andre' user and log on the server with : cvs -d :pserver:andre at 127.0.0.1:/cvstest/test login but I have a error : Fatal error, aborting. andre: no such user Any idea of how make this work ? Thanks, Andre Selton. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/maildemo
