You don't use any passwd file with ntserver!
And you don't use cvs login either. If you have a CVSROOT/passwd file
coming from the old server, then delete it. It contains bogus
information for the new server.

Just set your client to use :ntserver: and then do your cvs commands.
This protocol uses the login data from the user login to the
workstation.

You are probably better off using the sspi protocol, because the
ntserver protocol will be phased out. SSPI works over TCP/IP and so
can be better habdled in wide networks. Ntserver works with named
pipes and these are never used on Internet for example.
