[cvsnt] Absolute newbie: Cannot agree on an authentication scheme (got '')

[Bjørn Toft Madsen]

Hi all,

My first attempt at setting up CVS. Been following the clear guide at
http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationTips and I need outside users to
access the CVS over an internet connection. Accordingly I figured I would
alias some user names to get onto the system.

However I get the following output:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
F:\Documents and Settings\Bjørn Toft Madsen>cvs passwd -a -r "Bjørn Toft
Madsen" bjorn
cvs [passwd aborted]: Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree on
an
authentication scheme (got '')
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------

... and even if I try to set up a regular user (myself) using...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
F:\Documents and Settings\Bjørn Toft Madsen>cvs passwd -r "Bjørn Toft
Madsen" -a "bjorn"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------

... I get the exact same response. Was looking through the mailing list
archive, but could only find
http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2003-October/009048.html which doesn't
really provide any clues.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Best regards
