[cvsnt] authorization failed: server rejected access

[Aaron]

Bo,

See my response to "Ian Epperson" on why I mistakenly
used :ntserver: when trying to setup :pserver:
authentitication.

I noticed that you point out to first issue a "cvs
login" before the cvs passwd command. This was not
clear in the documentation either.  Here are the steps
I am now taking


C:\>set CVSROOT=:pserver:aaron at cvs_server:/Test

C:\>cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:aaron at cvs_server:2401:/Test
CVS password: ******
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server
cvs_server rejected access to /Test for user aaron

I tried the above as Administrator too and got the
same authorization failure.

Other notes:

I am logged on to the cvs_server as Administrator

I have ServerAuth=No in the config file located in
c:/_cvsrepo/Test/CVSROOT

I created a passwd file at c:/_cvsrepo and added users
Administrator and aaron.  I believe this is wrong so I
moved the passwd file to c:/_cvsrepo/Test/CVSROOT 


admin file contents (listed on separate lines)
------
Adminstrator
aaron


passwd file contents (listed on separate lines)
--------
aaron
Administrator


Thank you very much,
Aaron
