Re: Login/Authentication Problems With WinCVS

[Stuart Harvey]

It always seems to work this way  ...  I send a question to the
newsgroup then I solved the problem myself.

I had the training module selected in the "modules" frame.  It appears
that WinCVS is using the active module to determine the username and
server to connect to.  When I selected a folder that wasn't a CVS module
I was able to login to a different server.

Many Thanks

Stuart
