[Cvsnt] 2 newbie questions: commit problem and specifing repo sitory

[Ian Epperson]

You say that "Ninji is my windows username", but is that authenticated via
the domain or locally?  If it's via a domain, then don't check the "use
local users instead of domain".

For your next Question, make sure that you have the Repository root path
set, then assume everything is relative to that root.  If you've got your
root at c:\blah, and a repository at c:\blah\myRep, then access it with

:method:[[user][:password]@]hostname[:[port]]/myRep


hope this helps.

repository


These seem like questions that would have very obvious answers, but a
scan and a search through the archives wasn't helpful.
------------------------
I'm having problems comitting a file.  I can create a repository, import
a file, and check out the file fine.  If I try to commit it, I get the
error:

cvs [commit aborted]: your apparent username (Ninji) is unknown to this
system

(Where Ninji is my windows username).  I have the "use local users
instead of domain" option checked, and at this point this is all being
done locally.  Any idea why it isn't authenticating?

----------------------------------------
When specifying a remote repository as follows:
:method:[[user][:password]@]hostname[:[port]]/path/to/repository

How would I go about specifying a repository with a driveletter (i.e.
"C:\blah")?  The hostname/port runs into the path since it doesn't begin
with a slash in Windows.  Once again, seems like an obvious question but
I couldn't find an answer.

TIA
Bean
