Eric,

> I am running CVSNT 2.5.03 (build 2151) on a Win2K SP3 machine.

Please upgrade to the latest stable.

Can other non-Admin users (not an admin in AD and not an admin in
CVSROOT/Admin) checkout this file?

Do a log/rlog on the file that is failing and check the "mode" - if it's
wrong (eg: 010) then it's a known bug.
