[cvsnt] Re: Authentication problems

[Joelle Tegwen]

I'm responding to this so it goes in the archives.

The problem was that our college document server went down. This (I'm
assuming) led to an authentication failure noted on our machines. Since we
weren't validated by the domain server, we could not authenticate for the
cvs server. 

Sorry to bother everyone with this. No one here is very experienced with
this stuff.

Talk to your admin...  I'm guessing they changed something.

It's probably either:

1. Your login is disabled,
2. You used 'cvs login' to set a password and your password has changed,
3. Your admin has removed network login rights for your user.
