[Cvsnt] moving CVS repository

[Jasmeet S. Virdi]

Hi all,
    Till now i had a shared CVS box with a cvs repository for my team. I
recently got a dedicated box and setup CVS on
it. I created a repository by the same name as on my shared system, before
starting CVS fot NT, i moved all the files and folders under my old cvs
repository (including CVSROOT to preserve version info) to my new box and
added the new folder as a repository on my new box. It did not prompt me to
initialize it, i believe that could be because of the presence of CVSROOT.
    Now the problem. I had a passwd file on the old box that got copied
along with CVSROOT to the new box. But when i try to login into CVS on the
new box, it jumps as

D:\TEMP\New Folder>set CVSROOT=:pserver:cat at 172.17.24.17:D:\barba

D:\TEMP\New Folder>cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:cat at 172.17.24.17:240:D:\barba
CVS password: ********

D:\TEMP\New Folder>cvs checkout dox
Fatal error, aborting.
cat: no such user


The CVSROOT variable has been correctly set.

Could nebody point out the problem here please ....
