Using trusted authentication with a domain account you need to be a domain administrator in builds < 73. Build 73+ checks if you have a shadow account on the local machine (an account with the same name, password is irrelevant) that is an administrator. Personally, I don't think it makes much sense, but that's how it is set up. I am using the admin file for setting up repository admins. On the server, in the CVSROOT of each repository you want to add an admin to, create the file "admin" and put just the base username (not domain\username) and save it. Do NOT put the "admin" file in through CVS under source control--it won't work (there would be a sizable security hole). I've brought this up with Tony and his impression is that it is correct behavior for an integrated login permissions check, but I respectfully disagree (note that there are other issues at hand which complicate the situation--namely impersonation vs. no impersonation). Regardless, now that you know how it works, you can set up your administrators and secure it properly. Hope this helps.

My domain account belongs to the local Administrators group. I am logged onto the domain. I have also tried creating local groups CVSAdmin and CVSAdmins with no luck. Any ideas?
