RE: Permissions issue using WinCVS

You have to specify *how* you connect to the server, i.e. which protocol
you use.

Please post the CVSROOT string.
(usually something like  :sspi:server:/repo)

Also please supply the exact version numbers of the CVSNT executable you
use with WinCvs and which is handling the server. (Include the build
number in that spec.)
A simple way to do this is to use WinCvs:
- select a module sandbox checked out from the server 
- In the command window type the command 'cvs ver' and hit Enter
Now you shall see both the client and server versions similar to this:

cvs ver

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382
(client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2151
(client/server)


Best regards,

Bo Berglund

Subject: [cvsgui] Permissions issue using WinCVS

Hi,

I recently moved my repository to a new server and new version of 
CVS.  All is going well with one exception.

I have one User who typically does not log on to our domain but does 
have security to access the cvs repository.  This user can navigate 
fine through windows explorer the repository area and (as a test) can 
updated and create new files inthe repos area of the repos machine.  
However,  when using WinCVS and trying to commit a change to CVS 
we're getting a permissions error and does not allow the user to 
commit the change.  This was not an issue before this move/upgrade.
We do not use any logins via CVS.  Permission is done at the 
file/security level.

I have a userid identical to the User on the repos machine with the 
same password.  I have also tried using the 'login' through the 
WINcvs gui hoping those creditials would help with access, to no 
avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

New:
WinCVS/CVSNT  2.0.2.4
remote repository running windows server 2003

Old:
WinCVS 1.3
remote repository running windows server 2000
