[cvsnt] "cvs passwd -r ..." keeps telling me I'm "not a real user on the system"

I have installed CVSNT on my own W2K workstation and I want people on other
machines to be able to access it through pserver.  (When this goes into
production, the other machines may be Unix machines at our customers' sites,
so ntserver/sspi authentication is not an option.)  I'm trying to set up a
CVS account in the system for "customers" to use, but whenever I type "cvs
passwd -r sgordon -a customer", I get the error "User 'sgordon' is not a
real user on the system."  But "sgordon" is the name I log in as.

My repository is at "D:\cvsrepo\test"; I get these error messages whether
CVSROOT is set to "D:\cvsrepo\test" or ":sspi:localhost:/test".

The CVSROOT\config file has "SystemAuth=yes".

I'm running 2.0.14 on Windows 2K SP 4.
