Some time ago, on the company webserver I created a CVS repository
containing private stuff to get aquainted with CVS. The contents does
not need to be secure and I handed out passwords quite freely. The
server is a Win 2k advanced server server on the internet. I use
pserver authentication. The readme says cvsnt version is 1.11.1.2.

Now I need to do the same with company data and want to be a bit more
secure. Since I want to differentiate the two data sets as much as
possible and be as sure as possible that the users of the private
stuff can not access the company stuff, so I want to create a new,
second repository.

I started the "configure server" applet and under "valid repository
roots" I clicked on add and chose the empty directory I had created
beforehand. It told me this did not work and I should look for error
messages after running

cvs -d drive:\directory init

("drive:\directory" is off course only a placeholder)

I did this and there was no error message and inside the previously
empty dir there is a dir cvsroot with approx 35 files, like verifymsg
etc, so it seems to have worked. Also, when I add the directory inside
the applet, it does not complain and shows both repositories. But when
I close and reopen the applet, it only shows the old repository. I
created the "passwd" file. When I try to connect from WinCVS, it says:

drive:/directory: no such repository.

What other things additional to what I did already do I have to do to
add a second repository?

Bye bye,
