Ah, I think I have solved my problem , I found this useful Windows guide which has helped on my Vista site with my earlier version of CVSNT http://web.telia.com/~u86216177/InstallCVSNT25.html The key thing I need to do was start the Service Control Panel and actually create a Repository in the repositories tab, (although the repository existed and was accessible locally it seems to need to be set here for it to be assessible remotely) and I followed the instructions to use a short name rather than the default name so for the location C:\Apps\SourceControl\CVSServer\Repository I gave it a name /Repository I then logged in ok using the CVSROOT of :pserver:ijabz at 192.168.2.50:/Repository where ijabz is a real user setup on my machine, and it all worked (I did try to follows the instructions for setting up cvsadmin and cvsuser accounts but when I ran |cvs passwd -a cvsadmin from a DOS box it complained that only administrators could add users, even though I was logged in as ijabz who is a Vista administrator and I have had no opportunity to setup a cvs administrator, but from above it seems this step is not neccessary anyway) If anyone could explain the user issue I would appreciate it thanks Paul |
