[cvsnt] Errors using the cvs ls command on CVSNT servers from WinCvs

[Kevin Jones]

I've now installed cvsnt b57g on both machines and I can get ls to work
reliably even if I have a locks directory separate from the cvs
repository (which was the problem I had). I've just had to make sure I'm
using the same version of cvs on client and server.

BUT I still have to disable impersonation to get anything to work - this
is a major issue for me. Is anybody else seeing it
