Otherwise there will be a Catch-22 problem here. So do one of the following: 1) Change to ntserver by setting cvsroot to :ntserver:cvsserver:/reporoot Then use the cvs passwd command to add users like this example: C:\test\castor>cvs passwd -r bosse -a luke Adding user luke at castor New password: ******* Verify password: ******* This adds luke to the cvs users on server castor and aliases him to user bosse. Make sure to add yourself to the users this way too. 2) Edit the passwd file directly (create if needed) and add one line to the file: bross::administrator (yourself with no password but aliased to the administrator, please change as needed) Now you should be able to log in as bross using pserver and get administrative priviliges on the repository. Once you are logged in you can always change your blank password to a better one by executing cvs passwd and typing in the new password twice. Note that you cannot completely bypass NT accounts here, because all cvs users must either themselves be valid NT accounts or be aliased to valid NT accounts. And only those accounts that are local admins will be allowed to administrate the cvs repository. (That's why I added the alias for your entry above, but if you are an admin, then just remove the alias. If you want to have users with blank passwords then build 57a is not good enough, its cvs passwd barfs at empty passwords. I have modified it by merging in Tony's fix on the development branch into the release branch and compiled a new version myself. If you need this either you will have to wait for the next release from Tony or email me a request and I will send you my files. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden) _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
