Hi all, This is probably Just a heads up but I thought I share anyway since the error message is not all that helpful. I have just migrated a repository from a win2k machine that was created back in the 2.0.4 days to a linux machine running 2.0.51b. The repository started out using pserver and local users on the server as outlined in Bo's server setup page. I naturally had a CVSROOT/passwd file on the server. I subsequently ugraded as time went by and newer and better versions came about. I have been using 2.0.34 with the sspi protocol for quite some time now. The CVSROOT/passwd file and the necessity for local users fell into disuse and did not cause any problems. The passwd file contains the same usernames that are used with :sspi: but the passwords are different. With new security measures I assume that this is no longer allowed. After copying the repository from the win2k machine to the linux machine, applying the necessary file and directory permissions I tried to login, using WinCVS and :sspi: only to be met with cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server ttscvs01: 0: No such file or directory I eventually tried removing the old no longer needed passwd file and everything is now operational. Hope this helps Mikew
