That fixed it. Thanks. ------------------------------ Mark Zieg wrote: I had the exact same problem with Cygwin & CVS.
I think the problem is that NT's idea of "perry" doesn't match Cygwin's definition of UID 1119. If you're on an NT Domain, have you done the "mkpasswd -u perry -d COMPANY_DOMAIN >> /etc/passwd"? That's what fixed it for me.
