[cvsnt] Switch to user failed due to configuration error. Contact your System Administrator

[Jaime Eduardo Rodríguez Rodríguez]

Hi Peter,

The service is running as LocalSytem.

CVS Server "Run as user:" is "client user".

I use with the user that have account in the server:

	set CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsadmin at localhost:/TEST

this user works, because I have SystemAuth=yes


And with a user aliased, is the same:

	set CVSROOT=:pserver:user at localhost:/TEST

this user not work


I create this user with cvs passwd -r cvsadmin -a user

I'm doing the same in a XP machine and it works

Thanks.

What Windows user does the CVSNT server run as?  It should be
LocalSystem - the most frequent cause of the error message above is
someone trying to change that.

If this error still happens when the service is running as
LocalSystem, what is the CVSROOT you're using in each case?
