[cvsnt] Re: cvs pserver user problem

[Raheel]

Thanks to all of you. I did it successfully. Special thanks goes to Glen
Starrett. I used :sspi protocol technique first and after successfully
creating a user, now i am able to login remotely as well.
thanks to all those bear with me. You people are really great.

Thanks Glen. Yes it did work when I use your above method, but it logged-in
when I do it on my cvs server machine. When i tried to do it remotely (i.e.
from client end), it complains that:

    cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server <my_ip_address>
rejected access to /test for user cvsuser

Now whats wrong with it.
wait for your feedback. thanks once again.
