We are using pserver, and the server is on a Windows 2000 machine. Here's what's happening... passwd = "anonymous::mymachine\anonymous" readers = "anonymous" (from a remote location) cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at mymachine:/projects login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous at mymachine:2401:/projects CVS Password: Fatal error, aborting. cvs [login aborted]: prdwebdev17\anonymous: no such user ...which makes it sound as if it's not finding the local account; but that account exists, and cvs passwd allowed me to create the alias.

Which works fine. I'd like to add anonymous access. The trick is, I can create local accounts, but not without passwords - the domain forbids it. I've tried various combinations of (in CVSROOT): Domain settings shouldn't matter, since it'll use the old setuid trick (that old server didn't have the LSA helper, which means it won't work on Win2003 or XP SP2, but should on other systems). > file passwd: > anonymous:: > anonymous::localuser > anonymous::machinename\localuser > Looks fine, just alias the anonymous user to a local user.
