We needed to enter both UpperCase and lowercase user names in users file on
the CVSROOT of our project for DevGuyCVSNotify work correctly.
I always use the same computer at the work and have configured WinCVS only
one time with user name "flavio" but, when I add a watch and then list the
watchers, sometimes it is "flavio" and sometimes it is "Flavio", I think the
user name used at the server is my login on domain and not the user of my
cvsroot.

If you're using cvsnt version 2.0.28 or newer, the lockserver is now
case sensitive. I've had the same problem several times since upgrading
from an older version.

In each case, I just asked the user to change his CVSROOT to be the
right case, and the problem went away.
