Arthur,
An old user works on all computers, both old and new. New users don't
work on either. The CVSROOT for a working user and non-working user is
the same:
CVSROOT=:sspi:cvs.mydomain.com:/cvsroot/repo1
Both working and non-working users can perform checkouts. Non-working
users just can't commit anything. I ran cvsdiag on both old and new
boxes and while logged in as both old and new users. Everything looked
okay; no reported errors.
I just realized that the error message I'm getting from the cvs on the
client-side also references this strange filename ",Login.cs,". Here is
a copy of my exact error:
>cvs commit -m "" Login.cs
Checking in Login.cs;
/cvsroot/repo1/module1/source/VA.MM.Web.Controls/Login/Login.cs,v
<-- Login.cs
new revision: 1.5; previous revision: 1.4
cvs [server aborted]: could not open lock file
`/cvsroot/repo1/module1/source/VA.MM.Web.Controls/Login/,Login.cs,':
Permission denied
Why is CVS adding a "," prefix to the filename? I tried this from a
brand new box, joined it to the domain, then logged on as working user
and non-working user. Same results.
I don't understand how this is even happening. Are you sure there's not
some code similar to what you suggested? :)
