WRONG! I installed 2.0.58d in the test above...
After copying the clientlog dir from my old renamed cvsnt install
folder, this is what happened:

C:\Temp\cvstst>cvs -t -t -t ls
  -> Tracelevel set to 3.  PID is 200
  -> Session ID is c8424ae5914ef3
  -> main loop with CVSROOT=:sspi:ALTAIR:/Bosse
cvs [ls aborted]: cvs [server aborted]: Repository directory  does not
exist: Invalid argument

Again this invalid argument concerning the repository directory....
In the registry and in Control Panel the repository /Bosse is
correctly set to F:/CVSREPO/Bosse (which in fact does exist).

I am at a total loss here concerning the issues with the older
versions of CVSNT. Where did the requirement for a clientlog dir
come??? I am *not* using WinCvs...
