(I am not sure why the formatting was messed up in the previous attempt. 
Here is another try. Sorry for the blurb)

I am trying to install CVSNT (cvsnt-2.5.01.1927.msi) on a Windows 2003
Server machine. The installation went fine but I didnt see a Control Panel
icon created after I rebooted. But I started the Control Panel applet from
the CVSNT program folder and stopped the CVSNT service. After creating the
repository it asked me whether i want to initialize the repository and I
said yes. But it got stuck there forever. I aborted the window and tried
using "cvs init -d d:\cvsrepo" from the command line but that got stuck
too.

Then I tried cvs -t -t -t -d d:\cvsrepo init and got the following trace

C:\PROGRA~1\CVSNT>cvs -t -t -t -d d:\cvsrep init
18:24:06:   -> Tracelevel set to 3.  PID is 5596
18:24:06:   -> Session ID is 15dc428134862828
18:24:06:   -> Session time is Tue May 10 22:24:06 2005
18:24:06:   -> Domain found: VMASC.ODU.EDU
18:24:06:   -> CVS Server is acting as standalone
18:24:06:   -> main loop with CVSROOT=d:\cvsrep
18:24:06:   -> Using local lockserver on port 2402
18:24:06:   -> normalize_path(d:\cvsrep)
18:24:06:   -> ...returns d:/cvsrep
18:24:06:   -> Lock server connect to 127.0.0.1 port 2402



The Debug info from the lock server icon looked like this:

CVSLock 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1927 (Apr  4 2005) starting in test mode.
