Local access to network share not supported (Use -N to override t his error).

[Adourian, Chahe]

Hi All

I am having problems accessing my repository since its a local repository
stored on a network drive.
I am being told to add the -N option to all cvs commands to make it work,
and yes indeed that works when I type the commands myself.

What I am not able to do is to make this default behavior. i.e. I don't want
to add it manually to every command everytime

One possible solution to my problem woud probably be to modify the .cvsrc
file.
I looked as suggested into the .cvsrc file, made sure that my "$homepath",
"$HOME" and "$HOMEDRIVE" environment variables point to the right place and
put the .cvsrc file there: Its as if the cvsrc file is not being used.

BTW, the content of the .cvsrc file is the following:
cvs -N
commit -N
cvs commit -N


My question
1) Where am I to enter the -N option so that it is automatically invoked
everytime?
2) How am I to configure my environment variables so that the .cvsrc file is
seen?

Best regards

Adourian
