Thanks you for your help.

I tried to use the following command :
cvs -r -d :pserver:fourro@localhost:/usr/cvs/cvsroot login

... and the result is the following :
Logging in to :pserver:fourro@localhost:2401:/usr/cvs/cvsroot
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server localhost rejected access to /usr/cvs/cvsroot for user fourro

I wonder if it comes from CVSNT : in CVSNT Service Status tab, the "CVS Service" is Running, like the "CVS Lock Service" / .
(in the Advanced tab, "Impersonation enabled" and "Lockserver listens locally only" are checked)

I stopped the CVS Lock Service but I met the same message, namely :
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server localhost rejected access to /usr/cvs/cvsroot for user fourro


An idea??

Extra thanks :) !!
