It does indeed say that on the documentation - however, there are times I have the following configuration: I have a local repository that I've used for years now (2+) which works fantastic - However, there have been times that I"m working on a VMWare on the same box and need access to that repository - the awsner I came up with? Map a drive . . .I've done this for almost just as long with no errors that I can think of . . I get the impression that the only issue here at all is the actual CVSNT service - using just cvs.exe and hitting the files seems to work fine . . Can any one give more info here? Am I right in saying that 'CVSNT' refers to the service, and not necessarially cvs.exe? Am I full of <insert item here> ? :-) >>> mflaska at microstep-hdo.sk 5/18/2005 6:49:17 AM >>> Hi. Check this page: http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationTips <cite> Essential: The repository and temporary directory must be on a LOCAL (not networked) disk on the CVSNT server. CVSNT will not work properly unless the repository files are located on a disk on the local PC. Don't try to use a network drive or a mapped disk (not even a mapped disk aimed at the local PC)! It will not work and there are numerous reasons, here is one: CVSNT runs as a service and thus acts as the SYSTEM user account. This account has no permissions on the network and so cannot access the files if they are on a remote server. In fact if the files are on the same PC does not help either if they are accessed using the network via an UNC path. The drive is still considered to be on the network where SYSTEM cannot operate. So don't even try to create such a configuration! </cite> Kenneth S wrote: > Hi > > I know this question has been posted before in this list but I haven*t > been able to Google an answer. > > We have used cvsnt and WinCVS for some time now.
