You need to actually disable the guest account as well. By default, other clients coming in will use that if it's available. Pserver is OK if it's just you on your local LAN, but it is insecure if someone could be potentially sniffing the wire. FYI, March Hare has an eBook called "All About CVS" that documents a lot of these kind of setup & operational issues. It is included with CVS Suite -- see http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/ for more information. Regards, -- Glen Starrett
