Yes, I have created users that are allowed to have pserver access. I am
supposed to make CVS available through LAN, but I can't make it work locally,
first. I have managed to make it work with Local mounted driver option, 
without any identification, but this option is not available in Eclipse, which
is supposed to work as client. I thought that pserver is next simplest protocol
to use. Am I wrong?

I have found that in some of the replies to similar problems. I remember that
last time I worked with CVS, I didn't have problems like this, and that I
didn't have to do anything except for installing CVSNT and client software.

Is it possible to make it work like this in Eclipse as well? I didn't find
any other protocol selection there except for pserver, ext and extssh.

Thank you for your help,
