Yep, it was about some security fixes indeed (KB885835, KB885836,
KB873339 and KB889293 in particular).

In my config file, I have this:
---------------------
# Set this to "no" if pserver shouldn't check system users/passwords
SystemAuth=no
# Put CVS lock files in this directory rather than directly in the
# repository.
LockDir=F:/CVSRepositories/LockDir_cvsIPEM
# Set `TopLevelAdmin' to `yes' to create a CVS directory at the top
# level of the new working directory when using the `cvs checkout'
# command.
#TopLevelAdmin=no
# Set `LogHistory' to `all' or `TOFEWGCMAR' to log all transactions to
# the history file, or a subset as needed (ie `TMAR' logs all write
# operations)
#LogHistory=TOFEWGCMAR
-------------------
Where F:\CVSRepositories\LockDir_cvsIPEM is an existing directory for
which CVSUsers (group on server) has all permissions, except full
control.
The CVS lock service is running too.
The strange thing is that I can do a checkout with a read-only user...
Although nothing is created in the lock dir then (but then again, that
probably shouldn't happen for read-only users).
And the CVSUsers group (currently one member: CVSUser) always has more
permissions than the CVSGuests group (currently only one member:
CVSGuest) for each directory. That's the strange thing about it...

Which settings in particular should I check?
I now have:
Service status:
CVS service: running
CVS lock service: running
Repositories:
/CVSMAMI F:/CVSRepositories/cvsMAMI
/CVSIPEM F:/CVSRepositories/cvsIPEM
Advanced:
( ) Don't resolve client names (debug setting)
(v) Lockserver listens locally only
( ) Allow clients to trace server
Run as user: (client user)
Default domain: IPEMSRV
Temporary Directory: F:\CVSTemp
CVS server port: 2401
Lock server: localhost 2402
Encryption: Optional
Compression: Optional
SSL settings:
SSL Certificate file:
D:\Program Files\cvsnt\cvsnt-default.pem
SSL Private Key file:
D:\Program Files\cvsnt\cvsnt-default.pem
Compatibility:
Client: Generic non-cvsnt
(three checkboxes below are empty)
My directory structure is like this:
CVSRepositories
+---BackupsOfCVSRepositories
+---cvsIPEM
| +---CVSROOT
| +---IPEMToolbox
| \---QbVExperiment
+---cvsMAMI
| +---CVSROOT
| +---MAMI
| +---MAMIJava
| +---MAMIMatlab
| \---MAMITemp
+---LockDir_cvsIPEM
+---LockDir_cvsMAMI
\---sandbox
where cvsIPEM and cvsMAMI are the repository directories, and the
LockDir_xyz are the corresponding lock directories.
BackupsOfCVSRepositories and sandbox are just some extra utility
directories I sometimes use.
Any help to get CVSNT running on our server again highly appreciated!
