[cvsnt] Re: Problem Running CVSNT Server (2.0.4) on Win XP Pro

[alexei]

Found the answer. I did not setup permissions on the parent directory
where my repositories are located. In XP you have to login as
administrator and right click on the directory and select properties. It
is the 3rd tab.

SSPI works like magic now !! I love CVSNT !!
