You don't usually need a CVSROOT environment variable, especially not when using TortoiseCVS as client. TCVS will use an explicit root string for checkouts (a -d command option that it puts together using the info you give it in the checkout dialog), and the underlying cvsnt client will then use this same root for all operations on the sandbox you created with this checkout. However, IIRC, SSPI doesn't work well with XPHome because XPHome has a crippled networking that always logs in as guest. If this is only on your own LAN, pserver should work almost as easily and its security problems don't matter. Gerhard
