[cvsnt] Re: couldn't connect to server

[Bernhard Mayer]

ok, tried with sspi but than i get this error:
cvs [login aborted]: Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree on
an authentication scheme (got '')

now i have set the repository settings as follow:
prefix: d:/cvs
repository: /repository

tried to connect with this:
cvs -d :pserver:user at localhost:/repository login
or
cvs -d :sspi:mckenna at localhost:/repository login

same error as above or the old -1 error...

have cvsnt 2.0.41a and the cvsnt systemfiles copied in it.
