Don't edit any of the files starting with ".#". You should checkout the
CVSROOT module, edit the files, and checkin again. If this doesn't work
yet because of configuration problems, just edit the files directly, e.g.
"config".

Accessing a cvs repository via a shared drive is generally a bad idea.

Obviously, you were not running the cvs client that comes with cvsnt,
otherwise it would know about the ntserver method. Check whether you have
some other cvs.exe in your PATH.

On the other hand, you should be able to use any client as long as you
specify CVSROOT in a more standard (not cvsnt-specific) way. Try this:

  cvs -d :pserver:harpm at HARPM:/c//cvs_root login
