> Hello,
> 
> I've installed cvsnt 1.11.1.3 build 57i on my notebook under 
> Windows XP Home Edition. Unfortunately, the test system had 
> problems: sspi autorization didn't work due to no permission to 
> standard TEMP directory from current user environment and pserver 
> had problems due to no permitions to repositary:(
> 
> Unfortunately, I've failed to find out how to change permissions 
> on WinXP:( I haven't done all the required RTFM though:) The only 
> way I did find is to move both TEMP directory for cvsnt service 
> and repository into so called 'Shared Documents' Windows XP folder:)
> 
> Unfortunately, the full path name of this folder is 'c:\Documents 
> and Settings\All Users\Documents' and I wouldn't like to 
> experiment with changing this. It's obvious that this doesn't 
> work if the path names are not converted into 8.3 format.
