Hi All, I have installed the CVSNT 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise. Everything works fine until I try to bind a non system password to a user by the command cvs passwd -a <account name>. After this command, I get the following error message (logging command included): C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>set cvsroot=:sserver:cvsuser at deepthought:/TEST C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cvs login Logging in to :sserver:cvsuser at deepthought:2401:/TEST CVS Password: Fatal error, aborting. cvs [login aborted]: cvsuser: Switch to user failed due to configuration error. Contact your System Administrator. Apparently, the system recognizes the password well because I get another error message when I use incorrect password or the user system password (which is different to the CVS password). I use neither the active directory service nor a domain server. The CVSNT service runs on LOCAL SYSTEM account. LOCAL SYSTEM is allowed to "impersonate a client after authentication". I tried to run the service as the administrator but it did not help so I put it back to LOCAL SYSTEM. Everything (including remote access) works fine when I use the real user system password. But for security reasons, I do not want to use real system passwords for CVS users authentication. Hence, I would like to ask you, whether you could help me with this problem. Thank you very much, Miloslav Konopik
