Hi everybody. I'm new to this list, and - guess what? - I have a problem. With CVSNT, that is. Things were great in case of local protocol. Everything worked as it should: checkout, commit, tag, checkout by tag, branch, merge,... Since the local protocol is useless in a LAN/team environment, the next IMHO logical move was sspi. I've put CVSNT server (service) on an XP machine, where the rest of the network consisted of Windows machines - 98SE, 2000 and XP. I removed simple file sharing as suggested in the docs, created a few local users on the server (no domain) and for the moment everyone was happy. We could all checkout, commit and tag. But - SLAP!- nobody was able to checkout by a chosen tag, and all our dreams of getting rid of VSS craches were broken. We all use TortoiseCVS shell extension version 1.6.9, but it doesn't make any difference, because we all get the same error, again and again, whether we use TortoiseCVS or cvs from the command prompt: cvs [server aborted]: no such tag tag1 cvs checkout: in directory .: cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory Error, CVS operation failed We were only able to checkout HEAD branch/tag when using sspi protocol. All docs I downloaded say nothing about this error. I looked into all of "xxxyyy,v" files and all tags are in there. TortoiseCVS' history and revision graph options also show all tags. When I thought I couldn't be more desperate, all things mentioned above happened again when using pserver protocol :( Any ideas what could be wrong? TIA. -- Timmy...
