I'm new to CVSNT, installed it just yesterday.  I've installed it on a 
Windows XP machine running in workgroup mode (not connected to a network).  
>From what I can tell I don't seem to be able to communicate with the server 
using the command line client on the same box.  For instance, when I try 
doing the following:

CVSROOT=:sspi:mymachine:/GroupA
cvs passwd -a foo

I get:

Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree on an authentication 
scheme (got '')

I've read through much of the docs and have searched the internet looking 
for answers to my problem.  Unfortunately none of them see to resolve my 
issue.

* I turned off simple file sharing
* I tried turning off the firewall
* I do have McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise 8.0 running, but none of the ports 
it's blocking are the ones being used by cvsnt.  The only ports that are 
blocked appear to be 6666-6669 inbound and outbound.  I have not tried 
uninstalling the software at this point.

Anyone have any other suggestion?  Is there anyway to get more information 
about what has happened like some cvs logging?  I'm hoping I don't have to 
drop down to the netmon level.

Is there a good document explaining how to setup the server on windows?  I 
didn't find much useful information in the docs that came with cvsnt.  Maybe 
because I'm not that familiar with unix some of the documentation was 
foreign to me.  I do have other setup related questions pertaining to 
setting up users and authentication, but I'll send that as a separate email 
with a different subject.

Thanks,
Nick
