[Cvsnt] pserver setup problem (Almost there!)

[Bo Berglund]

The CVSNT service runs in account SYSTEM, but as soons as an operation
is performed by a user command it switches to the account of the user.
So what you see is probably an effect of permissions on the file
system on the CVS server. One very important thing is that the temp
directory used by CVSNT *must* be world writable and this is not true
for the default temp dir on a windows 2000 box. So you should follow
installation directions at devguy and relocate this directory outside
of c:\winnt and make it 'full control' for everyone.

Which version of CVSNT are you using?
