For example like this on a command prompt: c:\>set CVSROOT=:sspi:polaris:/Bosse c:\>cvs ls Listing modules on server Advance BosseTest CVSMailer CVSNT CVSROOT ImportBin ImportBin2 ImportTest251 MickeyMouse ModuleAA ModuleImp ModuleImpx ModuleXX ModuleYY ModuleZZ But when I change to the fully qualified server name I get another behaviour: c:\>set CVSROOT=:sspi:polaris.agiusa.se:/Bosse c:\>cvs ls cvs [ls aborted]: authorization failed: server polaris.agiusa.se rejected access to /Bosse As it happens the WorkSpace Viewer sets the computer name without any possibility of change by the user and it fails. The extra domain value (agiusa.se) was added by me when I started the new PC a few months back to reflect the connection with the main domain. However there is actually no such domain registered anywhere. Is this the problem? I can ping my machine using the long name as well as the shorter one. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
