[cvsnt] pserver authorization problems

[David Jackman]

This didn't seem to make any difference.  When I added the user with the
command
	cvs passwd -D domain -r djackman
 the entry in passwd looked like  djackman:!domain:djackman  and the
login didn't work.  Note that there are no slashes at all (backward or
otherwise).  I added the user again with this command:
	cvs passwd -D domain -r domain\djackman
and the entry in passwd changed to  djackman:!domain:domain\djackman
(with one backslash).  The login still didn't work.  I changed the entry
in passwd to a double-backslash, and that didn't improve anything.

I'm getting the same error for non-domain users as well, and I know
you've gotten that to work.  What am I doing wrong?

Did you try :pserver:domain\\user at server:/repository ?
CVSNT is now rather picky about the backslashes so you might want to
manually check the CVSROOT/passwd file and see if the accounts there
have domain\user in them and possibly change to domain\\user just for a
test ( and don't use cvs passwd to do that, edit the file in place for
the test ).

Just an idea....
