Hi,

There has been a lot of post concerning pserver access for CVS. Although I
tried all the suggestions I am still not able to connect to my repository
using pserver

My actual situation:
* I'm running Win2k, SP 2 using CVS for Win 1.11.1.3 (Build 57f)

* My registry looks like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CVS\PServer]
"RepositoryPrefix"=""
"StartNTServer"=dword:00000001
"StartPServer"=dword:00000001
"Impersonation"=dword:00000001
"DontUseDomain"=dword:00000001
"PServerPort"=dword:00000961
"TempDir"="C:\\DOCUME~1\\aw\\LOCALS~1\\Temp"
"Repository0"="C:/repository"

* I created a passwd file for user aw using htpasswd.exe. Afterwards I
copied this file to c:\repository\CVSROOT
* I added the CVS program directory to my path environment variable
* I created the CVSROOT environment variable referring to C:\repository
* I am using NTFS but didn't set any special file permissions for the
repository directory

If I try to login to the repository CVS reports an authorization failure!
C:\>cvs -d :pserver:aw at localhost:c:/repository login
Logging in to :pserver:aw at localhost:2401c:/repository
CVS password: ***
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server localhost rejected access
to c:/repository for user aw

Did I forget something?

Best regards,
Wolfgang
