This is your repository root. All of your modules have to be within a 
repository. You have to set here the folder that will be the repository 
root, "subfolders" will be created through CVS when you import or add. 
Once you set the root, the repository has to be managed through CVS. The 
environment variable CVSROOT is used to tell CVS "client" the default 
connection string to the CVS "server". The problem is CVS uses the 
"CVSROOT" name for too many things...

Depends on what protocol you are using. You can add user to the passwd 
files with cvs passwd, but you have to understand the config files 
settings for authentication too, if you want to use OS authentication.

This should be the CVSNT server IP address, not the client.

The availability of Windows logins depends on the config files settings

Remember that any operation has to be done *within* the repository. 
Think the repository as some sort of "database" where each file history 
is kept. CVSNT stores data as files using the file system, other (i.e. 
Subversion) store data in a real database, but the metaphor is always 
the same. In the CVSROOT (connection) string, you have to tell CVS which 
is the repository "root" you want to connect to (you are allowed to 
create more than one repository on the same server)
