Hello,

i tried it with OpenSSH  Version 3.1-3 i on WinNT from:
http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/

and TortoiseCVS 0.52 from:
http://www.tortoisecvs.org/

then i created the passwd and group file. this is described in the
readme.txt of the OpenSSH Server. now i can connect to the server with
putty or the ssh client from www.ssh.com when i use tortoiseCVS i get a
connection. but on the server the cvs.exe fails with a warning from
dr.watson. is this a problem of OpenSSH or CVS for NT?

greets sebastian
