I am running CVSNT 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382
I created a repository (F:/CVS/ejrepo).
Accessing the repository localy (CVSROOT="f:\CVS\ejrepo") I was able
to add a user and associate that user with my real account.  I double
checked teh passwd file to make sure, it contains the line:
scorch:[Passwordish letters here]:Josh


But I am still not able to login using the pserver or any of the other
plugin types I have tried so far.

for example:
cvs.exe -d ":pserver:scorch at 192.168.1.91:\CVS\ejrepo" login
Outputs:
Logging in to :pserver:scorch at 192.168.1.91:2401:\CVS\ejrepo
CVS Password:
cvs2 [login aborted]: Error reading from server 192.168.1.91: -1: Unknown error

Another attempt:
cvs -d ":sspi:scorch at 24.253.29.21:2401:f:\CVS\ejrepo" login
Logging in to :sspi:scorch at 24.253.29.21:2401:f:\CVS\ejrepo
CVS Password:
Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree on an
authentication scheme(got '')

I found a troubleshooting page that recomended running cvsservice.exe
manually, here is the result of that:

cvsservice.exe -test
CVSNT 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 (Jul  5 2006) starting in test mode.
TEMP/TMP currently set to F:\CVS\cvstemp
Initialising socket...
Starting auth server on port 2401/tcp...
Couldn't register with active directory: Configuration information could not be
read from the domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable, or a
ccess has been denied.
CVSNT initialised successfully

When I attempt to log in, the cvsservice.exe spits out this:
055d36e8: Cvsnt process started
055d36e8: Cvsnt process terminated

Any idea what is wrong or how to get more information to debug this?

Appricate it,
Josh.
