No, it is *not* OK to work this way!
If a CVS repository is used in :local: mode then *noone* else should
be able to use it at all!! This means that the repository is simply a
single user CVS store and the server should not even be installed. You
can use the client only.
If the CVSNT server is installed and remote access is allowed then
*everyone* including the local user must access the data via the
client/server protocol, such as sspi or pserver.
Corruption of the respository is likely to happen down the line
otherwise.
