[cvsnt] debugging? "can't create lock file - no such file or dir"

[Glen Starrett]

Looking at your log, it looks like there could be a logical (e.g. user)
problem with your method:

>>>>>

suc

Where did it create the rcs files for you?  Perhaps in
s:/cvs/hpsc/suxen/suxen?  Search for "testwalk.pl,v" to find out.  You need
to set the CVSROOT before you can use the import command, or at least use
the -d to specify it during the import.

Also, CVSNT 2.0.4 is the current stable version, 2.1.x is the next
development.  Either should work, but the 2.1.x is considered unstable so
I'd recommend using 2.0.x until 2.2.x comes out (even=stable, odd=dev).

Unless you've configured your repository (via the CVSROOT/config file) to
use lock server, then the CVSNT locks are still file locks.

Further, S: is typically a network drive, be aware that sandboxes and/or
repositories on remote drives are not recommended.  The sandbox should be on
the client's local drive and the repository on the CVS server's local drive.

I documented my setup in the wiki, perhaps you can use it as a baseline to
get you up and running.
