Glen, Thanks for the tips! As far as I know, our group doesn't have commercial support for CVSNT. I take your point about the need for additional info, so I'll post what I know here; meanwhile, I'll try restoring from backup. Thanks again CVSNT version is 2.0.51d CVSROOT is harm13/cvsrepos The error, again, is: cvs -r -d :pserver;username=wedwards;hostname=harm13:/cvsrepos login Logging in to :pserver:wedwards at harm13:2401:/cvsrepos cvs [login aborted]: cvs : no such userFatal error, aborting.

If you are part of that group, email me directly ASAP so we can get you added to the contact list and get your question answered. This forum is not for commercial support. On the other hand, if you are not with the group who has commercial support and are looking for community support, I know they will need additional details like the version of CVSNT, your CVSROOT, contents of passwd might help. It's also possible it's as simple as a bad line ending or unicode BOM problem -- e.g. try restoring the file from a backup rather than editing it again to revert the change.
