Thanks, you were correct...cvs could not find that file.  This was probably
related to multiple versions of cvs (as you suggested).  The resolution was
to uninstall CVSNT, clean up the PATH, and reinstall CVSNT.

It sounds like the cvs executable can't find the ntserver_protocol.dll.  I
had this problem once when I had multiple versions of cvs on my system, and
the wrong one was being found.  So it could be a PATH problem on the server.
Check your server cvs version to make sure you're running what you think you
should be, and search for the dll.

Allow me to correct myself on one detail...the error reported by the WinCVS
client is *not* the same as reported by the cvs.exe on the server's command
line.  The WinCVS 1.3.6.1 beta 6 error is this:

cvs checkout CVSROOT (in directory C:\)
cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from servername: cvs
[authserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: BEGIN NTSERVER

But the server reports from the command line:

C:\>cvs -d :ntserver:servername:d:/cvs co CVSROOT
cvs [checkout aborted]: the :ntserver: access method is not supported by
this port of CVS

Please help if you can.  More details are in my first message....
Thanks!

Hello.  I just installed CVSWEBNT 1.93.2.2 on the same server where I was
running cvsnt 1.11.1.3  (Build 57a).  The server is running W2K Server with
SP2 and IIS 5.0 in a domain.  I can't find any info on the following error,
which I get from the command line on the server itself and from WinCVS 1.3
beta 6 running on another workstation:

C:\>cvs -d :ntserver:servername:d:/cvs co CVSROOT
cvs [checkout aborted]: the :ntserver: access method is not supported by
this port of CVS

This error started after I attempted to install CVSWEBNT.  When I was ready
to test the URL, I ran into an error.  Before troubleshooting CVSWEB, I
double-checked that CVSNT itself was still functional, and found that it was
not.

I did find some threads about a similar error related to pserver, but not
ntserver.  I've reinstalled CVSNT initialized a new repository on the
server, and reinstalled WinCVS 1.3 beta 6 on my workstation with no change
in the error message.  I've always referred to
http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm for instructions,
along with this mailing list.

The only way I can access the repository now, as a cvs client, is by running
cvs commands from the server using the option -d :local:d:\cvs.  That works,
and I successfully modified a file under CVSROOT and checked it in.  But why
does ntserver fail?

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks for your help,
Dave
