Hello! after many sour hours I have solved a problem where nobody on this list helped me. I do not know why, since otherwise I found this list extremely helpful and people very willing to help (thanks Tony, thanks Bo, and thanks to all the others). The error message was: cvs [passwd aborted]: unrecognized auth response from ALI: cvs server: E cannot open G:/cvs/cvsrepo/TEST/CVSROOT/config: Permission denied The solution to this error is so simple, it is utterly embarrassing: The root drive for the repositiory must be a physical existing hard disk. In my case, it was a mapped drive (G:). On the same computer though, but it was mapped. The cvsnt service could somehow not resolve this path, thus it did not find the neccessary files. When I changed the root drive, everything worked fine for me. There was never a reason the map this directory anyway, I do not why this was done. Maybe this could make it into the installation guidelines? I doubt there are as silly people as me out there, but one never knows... Achim > Hi, > > please HELP me!
