[cvsnt] Re: Permission problem with cvs...

[Bo Berglund]

Follow-up:
I tested the same commands on my own server at home (no domain and
using local users instead of domain).
In this case what I want to do works right off the bat!
cvs passwd -r bob -a setupmgr
cvs login (as setupmgr)
cvs ls (shows the modules)
etc)
This is on 57f if that changes things.

So there is something mysterious going on when I work towards the
server that is part of a domain.
Are there impersonation problems for pserver when the CVSNT server is
a member of a domain?
What I need is for the setupmgr to connect through pserver in order to
get a way to include the password in the script and so have the whole
export done from within a batch file irrespective of who runs the
batchfile.
I planned on using something similar to:
set CVSROOT=:pserver:setupmgr:<his password>@server:/repository
cvs export ....
