Hi experts,

after upgrading my CVS test server (runs on Windows 2000) from CVSNT 
2.0.41.a to  CVSNT 2.5.02.2064
and WinCvs 2.0.2.4 (the "Bare" version) I cannot access the repositories 
any more.

Before I installed the new versions I completely uninstalled the previous 
versions on this PC.
I am using the pserver protocol and when I try to log in I get the error 
message : fatal error: no such user xxx
It does not find the user in the passwd file. 

When I type in a user name which is not in this file the message says "... 
no such user xxx in the passwd file..."

When I type in a wrong password it says something " ... unauthorized 
access ..."

But when I type in the right user name with the right password it does not 
find this user. Do you have an idea what is wrong or missing?

Since I am testing the new version on a test server before I upgrade the 
productive server I also have access to this second CVSNT server which is 
still running with CVSNT 2.0.41a. And strange: Access to the repositories 
on this server (via WinCVS 2.0.2.4) (also with pserver protocoll) is 
possible and ok.

With best regards
Lucia Käser
