Yes, repository was recreated.

The data will go into D:\repository.) I'm sorry, I interpreted the CVSROOT pointing to a "local" directory as a suggestion to used a shared folder instead. At the moment, I use pserver on the local machine, too, because I still have to fiddle around with the configuration, and want to be sure I can instantly reproduce problems arising on the machines of my co-workers. (As mentioned before, I was in the lucky position for the last years that I always had projects where I worked in Unix/Linux/GNU environments.) > Now restart inetd/cvsd/however you are getting pserver to work. > > THEN, and only then, go try to import something from a client machine. I omitted the last point, beside the fact that the working directory from where the import started lives on a text mount. Will try these two tomorrow. > Note that pserver is practically unported.

Taking that into consideration, it works well:) CU -- Holger Spielmann Germany phone/fax: +49-700-SPIELMANN -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
