Advice for Interix and to specify users

[Jerker Bäck]

Hello all,

For a long time I have successfully used the 1.11.22 version on Interix.
Newer versions didn't work for various reasons.

Now I have built cvs from current repository and it all looks promising.
There is a problem however, when I run the tests it exits with the
following:

...
** expected: 
admin: invalid option -- H
cvs \[admin aborted\]: specify cvs -H admin for usage information
** or: 
admin: illegal option -- H
cvs \[admin aborted\]: specify cvs -H admin for usage information
** got: 
(null): unknown option -- H
cvs [admin aborted]: specify cvs -H admin for usage information
FAIL: basicb-21

I got "(null)" instead of "admin".

I tried to configure the "--[with/without]-cvs-admin-group" option - no
effect.

Anyone got a clue how to pass this and continue the tests?

Thanks
Jerker
