[Cvsnt] Newbie, "No such repository" error on create repository

[Rick Genter]

My mistake. From the nongnu.org version of CVS, server.c:

/* The Authentication Protocol.  Client sends:
     *
     *   BEGIN AUTH REQUEST\n
     *   <REPOSITORY>\n
     *   <USERNAME>\n
     *   <PASSWORD>\n
     *   END AUTH REQUEST\n
     *
     * Server uses above information to authenticate, then sends
     *
     *   I LOVE YOU\n
     *
     * if it grants access, else
     *
     *   I HATE YOU\n
     *
     * if it denies access (and it exits if denying).

This is from the void function pserver_authenticate_connection().

As Tony said: it's part of the basic protocol and cannot be changed
without breaking every existing CVS server in the world (both CVSNT and
nongnu.org CVS).
