Re: connect to 127.0.0.1((null)):2402 failed error

Richard and Arthur --

I appreciate the suggestions and must admit that I wasn't aware of
sspi. However, in doing a little looking, it seems to me that sspi is
maybe for Windows only? I'm on a Mac so am running unix cvs with
MacCVSX. I'm guessing that pserver is the closest analog to sspi in unix?

At any rate, it does appear that I'll have to do some research and
change my CVS setup. I have a nice new Mac at my new job that is just
sitting waiting for me to get CVS running in Leopard with MacCVSX, so
I have some incentive...

Thanks for the ideas.

Brian
