Try this instead: - Select a folder containing files from the CVS server (a sandbox) - In the command window at the bottom of the screen type: cvs logout <enter> - Then type: cvs login <enter> - A password dialog will pop up and you shall enter the new password - Hopefully there will be a confirmation Now all cvs commands for the same CVSROOT will work without authenticatioon problems Notice that the login data are cached for the complete CVSROOT so if you have several repositories on the same server then you need to repeat the above for each repository.

Hello I m stuck with a problem and don't know how to solve it. Please help. I use winCVS on my windows machine. It connects to the CVS repository that is on a unix server. WinCVS was working fine on my windows desktop until a few days ago. I had to change my unix account password. WinCVS is unable to execute commands properly ever since i changed my password. It always gives the mesg : cvs [update aborted]: authorization failed: server ...... In WinCVS I tried : click on menu item Admin -> Logout. Then click on Admin -> Login and specified new password in the CVSROOT. It worked fine. But after that when I select a file and do an update it gives the "authorization failed" mesg. In fact this mesg appears for any other cvs command i try : log, diff , etc. How do I make WinCVS use the new password for the other commands. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Shashi. _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
