The lockserver configuration is server-only and has nothing to do with any clients - TCVS or otherwise. If you mean the "Lockserver listens locally only" option, this is what I (and probably most others) have set and what is recommended. There is very rarely a need for the lockserver to listen to anything but the cvsnt server on the same machine. It shouldn't create any difficulties, and I don't think it has anything to do with whether you use TCVS or cvs.exe as client. > 2.

Was that cvsnt on Linux? I'm not experienced in setting up cvsnt on Linux, but it may be ok; among other things this depends a lot on your security model and the permissions assigned to the repository tree. > I did have some problems with the CVS root path when it was taken from > the ./CVS/Root file, but I've deleted it and everything works better > now. You deleted such a file from a sandbox? If there was something wrong before you deleted the file, deleting it was not the way to fix what was wrong -- the error is still there. Gerhard
