The documentation suggests you need pserver for Windows 9x and we're likely to have someone using Windwos 98 over the internet, so we have to be extra careful. ;-) However, I am pleased that it appears I have interpreted the documentation correctly. > > > To do this I've set 'SystemAuth=o' in config and committed > it to CVSROOT. > > I've created a file called 'passwd' and put it in > C:\CVS\CVSROOT (DevGuy > > suggests calling it '.passwd', but that doesn't seem to work). > > There shouldn't be a dot.

I see. After a bit of fiddling I was able to log in. My passwd file now looks like this: pg1: pg1:!Chorleys pg1 is my username and Chorleys our network domain. Notice that I haven't given myself a password. If I do the authentication stops working again. Is this because I need to encrypt the password and paste it in?
