[cvsnt] problem making a cvs user with pserver

[Raheel]

Hello Berglund, yes you are right, :ntserver protocol is not in use anymore.
I just mistakenly type it, actually i meant to say SSPI protocol. Right now,
due to some circumstances I can't use my NT 4 users so I am confined to use
:pserver protocol. Ok, I am start reading your guide, but I will again ping
you if i stuck in the middle for any problem. Thanks to be with me.

It's like this:

To make things simple: Don't use pserver at all! Use SSPI instead!

If you use SSPI then CVSNT uses the user authentication from the
login they did to Windows and there is no need for extra CVS login at all.

If you persist in using pserver on NT4 then perhaps my guide from a few
years back can help. It is not updated with the very latest but still
usable. You can find it here:
http://w1.862.telia.com/~u86216121/InstallCVSNT.html

But concerning the basics, the CVSNT server is not completely set up and
operational just because you have installed CVSNT, there are additional
tasks to be done like:
- Create the repositories for the server
- Creating the pserver logins (if pserver is to be used)

These administrative tasks cannot be done remotely, they must be done on
the server console (at least the first pserver login = yourself must be
created so that you can then add users remotely if you like to).
Repositories can never be created remotely.

Your reference to the ntserver protocol is strange because you state that
you use pserver. ntserver is a different protocol and is no longer even
supported.

Hello, by saying "on your machine" you mean cvs client machine Or you mean
to say that the machine where I have installed cvs server. Secondly, as far
as I know there is a need to have a user on machine for cvs user creation is
a requirment of ntserver protocol, correct me if I am wrong??
