[cvsnt] CVS passwords on windows XP

[Andre Selton]

  Hi,

  I need to install CVS NT on a windows XP system, and
I want to use it with CVS passwords (not domain
passwords).
  This is what I am doing :

  - I installed CVS NT 2.0.58d
  - I create a test repository on the location
'c:/cvstest/test' and name '/cvstest/test'. So a
C:\cvstest\test\CVSROOT directory was created with the
config files inside it.
  - Now I try to follow the FAQ on
(http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm),
in the answer to the question 'How do I set up
pserver?'.

  - on the step 2 it says : "Create an empty file
.passwd in the directory referenced by the HOME
environment variable for the SYSTEM user (or the user
that runs he CVS service)". Well I do not have a HOME
enviroment variable set, so I set it to
c:\cvstest\home and create this empty .passwd file
there.

  - I follow the steps 3 and 4 of the faq answer,
using SystemAuth=no.

  - on the step 5 it says to create the passwd file in
the CVSROOT directory. So I create the
C:\cvstest\test\CVSROOT\passwd file.
 
  - here I have my problem. It says to use pwgen.exe
to create the encrypted passwords. But I do not know
where I can find this program. So I find a message on
'http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2002-May/002117.html'
and it says to create a user with a blank password and
log using it to then change to a real password. So I
create to create a 'andre' user and log on the server
with :

cvs -d :pserver:andre at 127.0.0.1:/cvstest/test login

  but I have a error :

  Fatal error, aborting.
  andre: no such user

  Any idea of how make this work ?

  Thanks, 

  Andre Selton.
